Monthly Meeting: We meet on the third Saturday of the month at 10:30 am, at Western Watauga Community Center, Sugar Grove, NC. Our program and Show and Share session follow the business meeting, and we would love to have you join us! All meetings are at 1081 Old US Hwy. 421, Sugar Grove NC 28679 unless otherwise indicated.
January 18, 2025: In lieu of a face to face meeting, members are invited to participate in MAFA’s showing of The Nettle Dress (register here), followed by a discussion by textile artist Allan Brown, who spends seven years making a dress by hand, using only the fiber of locally foraged sting nettles. This is “hedgerow couture,” the greenest of slow fashion and also his medicine. It is how he survives the death of his wife Alex and how he finds a beautiful way to honor her. (At the time of this post, all available seats have been filled, but a waitlist is available.)
December 14: Holiday Party! We will gather to share potluck and have a fiber swap.
Workshop, November 16: Karen Dendiu led a needle felting workshop after the business meeting. Participating members created small ornaments and landscapes.
November 2024: Show at Johnson County Center for the Arts at 129 West Main Street, Mountain City, Tennessee
