Room for anyone wanting to take clothing Workshop

I'm on the Qualicum Weavers and Spinners Guild Workshop Committee and we are offering a seminar put on by Jo Swallow. We still have lots of room if anyone in your guild is interested.

I've visited her studio and she is a wealth of information .

The workshop will be held at Qualicum Bay in the Lighthouse Community Centre. I'm attaching a copy of some of the information that's been sent out. There is nothing to prepare or bring other than what's listed.

Just contact me if anyone would like to come. I'm taking some of my handwoven clothes for critique..should be fun.

Thanks, Jo
