The
Lakeshore Fiber Arts Guild will celebrate its 34th anniversary of
joining together to study and enjoy the exciting world of textiles and fiber
arts with cake and pictures. We invite anyone interested in the textile and
fiber arts to join us on Wed., March 6, at the Holland Area Arts Council, 150
East 8th St., Holland, MI 49423, starting at 6:00pm.
The guild
also presents Grand Rapids resident Margaret Jager speaking about “Small
Looms.” Remember those little 4”x4” Weave It looms you bought with your allowance
at the dime store decades ago? They are only available now at estate sales,
antique stores, or E-bay, but the idea of working on a hand-held loom is very
much alive. This program will
focus on pushing the capability of the small loom: changing the size, adding texture, using unusual yarns, and
developing attractive joining and finishing techniques. We'll even discuss designing and making
your own looms inexpensively.
Jager
is currently the President of the Woodland Weavers & Spinners Guild in Grand
Rapids, Michigan and will become president of the Michigan League of Handweavers this
summer. She is an avid weaver and
spinner and former school teacher, especially in the sciences.
The
Lakeshore Fiber Arts Guild invites anyone interested in the textile fiber arts
to their monthly program meetings held the first Wednesday of each month at the
Holland Area Arts Council. For more information, contact jgould1526@esagelink.com or
