​This month's TFAC Events​

​Drop Ins
Drop ins are a great time to come by the TFAC, check out materials and socialize with other weavers! All members are welcome to come use the resources at the Center. You don't need to reserve anything in advance, just drop by. They are usually held at regular times on Tuesday and Saturday afternoons, but upcoming ones are listed below. You can always check out the full schedule of future and past drop ins on the Calendar page. 

  • Tuesday, August 13, 1:00-4:00 Drop-in with Kelly Walsh hosting.  Kelly is a talented seamstress and is happy to help with sewing questions.   Also, you have a few more weeks to try out Huck on the loom in our larger classroom.  Your sample will be cut off and returned to you for your sample collection.​
  • Saturday, August 17, 1:00-4:00 Drop-in with Freya Kamel hosting.  Time to plan your homemade holiday gifts?  TFAC has yarn sample cards of numerous vendors and plenty of resources for choosing a project.  Come browse.
Special Event: Summer Structure Sample
Are you interested in trying a new structure?  Drop by TFAC to weave three samples using one huck draft…huck fabric, huck lace and huck blocks.  The draft from Susan Liles’ “Elegant Placemats” article in the Nov/Dec 2009 Handwoven was modified to sample size and the loom is set up and ready to go !
