Our program this month will be presented by Daryl Lancaster, who is well known to us having presented several programs and workshops to our guild and at MAFA conferences over the years.
We will “explore and experience creative ways to use every precious bit of hand-woven scrap. Some techniques require sewing, some a hot glue gun. Some ideas become great garments; some can be sent through the mail! We will learn how to use some of the fusibles and stabilizers available and learn to look at everything from old work, to the smallest scrap as an exciting new raw material.” This is a regularly discussed issue for many hand weavers and I know that we are looking forward to seeing what Daryl suggests.
