Ever felt like you needed some good clean fun? 

Join us Saturday for hands-on introduction to wet felting. The guild will provide 1 oz of raw fiber that we will mold and sculpt into a beautiful vessel.

Please bring: 2 towels, extra fiber bits for embellishments and creativity! Feel free to BYOFF (bring your own feltable fiber) such as locks, angelina, 100% merino yarn to use as said embellishments.

RSVP needed-email gbfiberguild@gmail.com 

Guild members can participate via Zoom. So,, if you would like to participate from afar, please RSVP to above email and let us know you are interested. You will be sent a supply list which will allow you to wet felt from home via Zoom. 

Also, don’t forget to bring in your New Year’s Resolutions since last month was virtual. If you have program or workshop ideas now is the time to shine! Please share your ideas as we begin preparations for our 2025 Programs. There will be a raffle for submissions so all ideas are welcome.

Membership Dues and Renewal

The Guild’s membership year runs January through December. Annual dues are $25 per individual, and $30 per family. Dues are due by February 28th.  If you want to keep getting meeting announcements and Zoom room information, don’t forget to renew on-time. Use the Membership tab above for info on renewing your membership. 

The January meeting will be only on Zoom!

Due to the crazy weather, the January guild meeting will be on Zoom only.

There will not be a meeting at the Hoover Church of Christ. Stay home!

Due to the questionable weather conditions we are not going to have an in-person meeting tomorrow. We will instead meet by Zoom from 10am to 12 noon. Get yourself a hot beverage and a cookie and meet us to share your Fiber Resolutions for 2025.

Zoom information was included in the meeting notice you received earlier. We are sorry that we can't post Zoom connection information online as nefarious people like to interrupt Zoom meetings with their opportunities to buy time shares.

Winter Weather and the Meeting

Saturday's meeting may be converted to Zoom due to inclement weather. If that happens members will receive an email notice with Zoom instructions. If you aren't a member of the guild and would like to join, check the Membership tab on this site.

Park in the front of St. Peter’s and come in either entrance, the main door on the right or the door to the left. From the main entrance, walk down the hall on the left, that same hall is to your right if you come in the left entrance. The library is in the middle of that hallway and it's labeled.

Keep an eye on this blog in case the weather is bad enough that the church closes on Wednesday.
