May Meeting
End of Year Virtual Fiber Feast!
May 23, 11:00 am
Although we can't physically be together, that doesn't stop us from meeting virtually and sharing a meal while we have a hands-on demo about weaving with coffee filters (Mary Anne will be teaching us), show and tell, vote for a treasurer to fill out the rest of Ria's term, AND (drumroll) talk about our summer study groups, classes, and weave-along challenge.
Sneak peak at summer 'doings':
Tablet weaving with Angela
Weaving iridescence study group
Picnic-related weave-along and challenge.
Email mghw@mghw.org for the zoom link for the meeting on May 23 or to join in one (or all) of the summer groups.
