Meetings
Whatcom Weavers Guild meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of the month, at St. James Presbyterian Church, 910 - 14th Street, Bellingham, Washington. Enter through the west side at the lower level. Parking is available in the church parking lot and on the street. Meetings are open to all members and visitors are welcome.
Monthly meeting schedule may be changed to accomodate special events or Field Trip programs. Unless noted, meetings will start at 10:00am and continue until 2:00pm, with a short break for brown-bag lunch. Hot water for coffee and tea is provided. Interest groups are welcome to stay after the 2:00pm meeting. These will be groups that are structured by the participants. Ideas for groups might be basket weaving, felting, band or inkle weaving, dyeing, beginning weaving, weaving for garments or ??? If you're interested, stay after 2:00pm and find your Muse! Special programs may be scheduled differently. Please refer to the schedule below for times and program topics.
The meeting will include a program, a business meeting and a "show and tell" of items newly created by guild members. Programs are developed to interest weavers and all fiber artists alike. Programs such as lectures, slide presentations and hands-on-learning activities bring members together to discover (or re-discover) interesting techniques and approaches, all to inspire creativity.
