Fibers Play Date on the Farm!

Let’s Get together, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
For our October meeting we will focus on fibers – the foundation of our work. Come our to my little farm, meet my small herd of alpacas, and learn the steps required to take your work from ‘Fleece to Piece”!!
During the day we will learn a little bit about alpacas, dig into some fleeces, learn and practice sorting, picking, carding, dyeing, and spinning! Each member will leave with a small amount of alpaca roving to spin, or if you bring your wheel, alpaca yarn!
**Each member will be provided with alpaca fiber to work with during our day

This meeting will be a hybrid meeting. Members may participate on Zoom or In Person.
Our October meeting will be a hybrid meeting, beginning at 9:45 am. You may attend in person at the San Luis Obispo United Methodist Church, 1515 Fredricks Street. A Zoom invitation will be sent to all members a few days before the meeting. Our program will be “COTTON FROM FIELD TO LOOM” presented remotely by Joan Ruane. She will tell us all about cotton, from harvesting cotton, ginning, classification, and processing lint into sliver to making yarn. Joan will also discuss weaving and knitting with handspun cotton and show photos of projects woven with spun cotton. We will have a brief business meeting, an in person raffle and show and tell. Members are encouraged to submit photos of their show and tell items to Wendy-Marie ahead of time as it is sometimes difficult to show items in person. (See guidelines below)

Weaving and Fibers Vision Boards
This month we will be creating weaving and fibers-related vision boards. This exercise will help us unleash our creativity, inspire ourselves and others, and help us get to know each other through our fibers interests! Our meeting(s) will be Zoom meetings. Invitations will be sent to all guild members a few days before each meeting.
Vision boards can be created either online (I recommend Canva) or on an actual board (or a combination of both!) using photos, sketches, yarn, swatches, words and phrases, etc…
Each week I will send out helpful tips and ideas to guide you on this journey. We will be using these boards to answer the following questions:

What inspires me in my weaving?
What is a new skill, technique, or pattern I’ve always wanted to try or learn?
What am I stuck on or need help with?
What excites me about weaving and fibers?
What do I want to accomplish this year?

For our meeting at the end of the month, we will share our vision boards and each have a turn to discuss. This will be a fun way to get to know each other, help me coordinate activities each month to support your growth, and provide you with a tangible finished product to hang in your studio or weaving space to keep you inspired all year! There are no rules so get those ideas flowing!
Remember, these vision boards are a great tool to help take our creativity and weaving to a whole new level so just enjoy the process!
If you would like to participate or would like more information, contact Barby Wunsch, barby_wunsch@live.com
