The Evolution of a Fiber Artist
Handweaver Neal Howard will talk about her path as a weaver, starting with early experiences that pointed clearly to a path as a weaver. Her education at Haywood Community College (Production Crafts/Fiber), Penland School for the Arts, and individual study with talented artists has led her through a fascinating professional life. Neal will bring samples of her work and provide inspiration for those of us who are always trying to live the life of fiber in new and interesting ways.

Laura Fry Workshop
Our Wet Finishing Workshop taught by Laura Fry was a great opportunity for us to learn how fibers interact with each other AFTER they’ve been wet finished – not “washed”. And as we all learned there’s an enormous difference between washing - and washing, compressing, and drying a textile. For those of you
who missed the workshop we do have Laura Fry’s book, Magic in the Water- Wet Finishing Handwovens in the Water- Wet Finishing Handwovens, in our library. As usual, the workshop provided wonderful experiences and ties that can only come from doing and solving things together.
