 Fiber with a Twist 6th Annual Spin-in
Saturday, May 8, 2010 from 10:00am to 4:00pm
Richland Community Center
500 Amon Park Drive
Richland WA 99352
Cost: $5 Bring potluck
item. (There's no refrigerator available.)
This is a spin-in and much more. The mission is to have fun while using fiber. So anything goes, from
traditional to unheard-of. There will be vendors with fiber and tools.
This function is organized by local members of Northwest Regional
Spinners' Association, NWRSA But we are also members of Desert Fiber
Arts, so it's only natural that this spin-in takes on the more
eclectic flavor of DFA.
The setting is beautiful in a large conference room with floor-to-ceiling
windows on the wall facing the park. We'll be able to move outdoors
onto the large patio as the weather allows.
What a great venue to introduce a friend to the fiber arts.
There will be mini-classes and demonstrations.
It's a day to play with fiber arts! Bring your handwork and join the
fun!
