Visual Arts / May Meeting

| Projects, Workshops |

At the May meeting, Bethany will be leading us in Fiber Arts!

Reminders:

1. Bring dinner if you’re hungry!

2. If you are finished with borrowed sculpting tools, please return them to Brett.

3. You’re encouraged to bring any art projects you’re working on (or pictures of them) if you’d like feedback or want to ask questions about techniques, requirements, record books, etc.

4. For those that would like to give a demonstration to a smaller group, we should have time for a few during our meeting. If you can let me know ahead of time, that is appreciated, but not required 🙂

Plan:

Bethany has offered to lead a small project that members can work on during the meeting (bracelet or bookmark, etc).

In order to bring enough supplies, a rough headcount is appreciated—please let us know if you’re planning to come!

She can also answer questions about weaving projects.

*For those interested in purchasing a loom, Bethany recommends the Harrisville Lap Loom or a similar simple frame loom, at least 12″ x 16″.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
