Westport Art Fair
Attended the
Westport Art Fair this weekend and we had four artists from our
guild participating in this years show: Jean Hartley, Sandy Cahill Lauri
Mellenbach and Marci Blank were there with their colorful and creative Fiber
work and Jewelry. Congrats ladies on participating in this local art fair
featuring some cool stuff this year! If you are reading this on Sunday you still
have today to check out this art fair!
From
the Editor....
Not fiber
related but could be of good source material for your future fiber works...
attend the Nelson Gallery and see the new Bloch Building. It is an incredible
place to take a few hours or a few minutes to walk around and see what you want
to see, old and new.... Check it out!
Hard to
believe that fall is around the corner. This month take some time to think about
what you would like to learn about and who we can use as a resource of someone
who could come to the guild and do a program on some fiber related topic. I
believe that you get free dues for the next year if you give a program. Peggy
has done an excellent job being our planner (and presenter) this year and we
have to help her out and think of some new ideas, maybe something that has been
done in the last couple of years.... think, use those creative thinking caps and
help us make YOUR guild a great place to get resources, make new fiber friends
and learn new techniques!
Along the same
lines, we have lots and lots of space to fill up in YOUR newsletter for ads of
things to buy and sell, it is FREE!
Events listing coming up,,,,FREE!!!!
Just click on
spindeb@aol.com and send me your news, ads, event coming up, etc...
I would rather have them in email form. It is just easier for me.
Plant some bulbs now for a colorful surprise in the spring & have a great
September!
