Textile Temptations

Each Thursday evening give into the temptation to try another textile craft. Dip your toes into spinning. Learn how to make yarns that are exactly what you had in your mind's eye. Try
dyeing fibres and then blending them to get infinite variations on your theme. Then learn to weave on simple equipment like a rigid heddle loom, inkle loom, frame loom and, if there is
enough interest, the knitters loom.
When: 6 - 9 pm, Thursday
Where: Guild rooms
Tutor: Lindie Coffill
Cost: $28 per night

Braids Group

While they may be few in number, the Braids Group are full of knowledge that they are keen to pass on (before it is too late.) They are prepared to act as a Brains Trust to guide any newcomer into the fibre fold. They can help with spinning, weaving, braiding, dyeing, etc.
