2023 October Newsletter

Post author By Ann Davies
Post date October 2, 2023

The October Newsletter can be found here! 2023 October LOCO Newsletter

Next Meeting: October 10, 2023

Program: One Woman’s Opinion

Because the Wellington setting is not so easy for us to show a movie, we have made a program change. The movie on overshot will be shown in November at our usual location (Carlisle Reservation).

As a lead in to our monthly LOCO Guild Fair (23-24) entries, we thought we would instead have an informal critique of any weaving, spinning or knitting projects members would care to bring in. Rosanna Ludwig is a member of the Medina Spinners and Weavers Guild. She has years of experience as a weaver, spinner, and knitter. She will be with us in October with a program we are calling “One Woman’s Opinion”. Anyone is free to bring in a piece or two of their work, be it fantastic, or maybe not so much so, and Rosanna will give us all her critique. This is an informal setting, and we hope folks will receive her thoughts in the spirit in which they are given. We will get to as many pieces as time allows.

Business meeting, Show & Tell

Location: Wellington Reservation

Artist Pages Update

Post author By Ann Davies
Post date June 19, 2023

What a great turnout we had to create and or update Artist Pages at our last meeting!

It was exciting to see everyone’s art work and to get to know people as they worked on their artist bio’s. We still have several artists that still need to work with Ann D. or Barb E. to create their bios. Give either one of us a call or email us and we can work with you to create your bio.

If you missed the meeting or would still like to work on creating an artist page just hit the “Contact Us” on the web page and let us know. If you are a member of the guild, you too could have your own Artist Page.

Please take a look at all the great work that our fiber artist’s are creating!
