February 5th 2014 is our next meeting at 7pm. Our member Margie, who got a guild bursary for the ANWG conference in Bellingham last June is doing the programme.
I thought I would post another event that might be of interest to some:

Lose weight the easy way! Learn to fuse silk with wool to create beautiful, lightweight one of a kind scarves. View this email in your browser

Nuno Felt Scarf Workshop Saturday, February 1st from 12:30 - 4:00 pm It’s a New Year and I’m surrounded by friends, family and co-workers who are determined to shed the extra weight that seems to collect over the holiday season. It’s a commendable goal and I too have decided to take up the challenge of losing a few ounces - in my felting that is! One of my favourite ways of becoming lighter being is through Nuno Felting.

Nuno Felting is a technique where wool and silk are fused into soft, airy and incredibly drape-able fabrics and clothing. It's amazing how you can transform a few grams of wool and a length of silk into a one of a kind scarf. You will learn tips, tricks and techniques for successfully creating nuno-felt fabrics and you will leave with a completed, one of a kind scarf that you can keep or give as a gift to a loved one. They make fantastic gifts and are a staple in my own wardrobe. So join me and lose weight the easy way! Date:  Saturday, February 1st from 12:30 - 4:00 pm Location:  St. Aidan's Church (3703 St. Aidan's St. just off Shelbourne and Cedar Hill X-Road) Class Size:  4-6 Cost:  $95 ($65 instruction + $30 materials) Materials:  All materials will be provided and you will have a chance to pick your colour palette prior to the class. Register:  email felttrix@gmail.com or call 250-857-9397 Cancellation policy:  If I need to cancel for any reason, a full refund will be provided. Because I need to rent space (and custom dye your silk) a refund will only be provided up to 72 hours before the class. If I can fill your space, I may be able to be more flexible on this. I will do my best to work with you. Please note: Some nuno felting experience - whether with me or or on your own - is a prerequisite for those of you who have asked for a tunic workshop.
