Fall back to the basics...

First of all, happy birthday to our staff members Joe and Marena!

Many of you have already received your Fall edition of the Springwater Fiber Workshop's newsletter in the mail; if you haven't yet, or you're not on our mailing list, you can take a look at the schedule on our website. As always, we have a wonderful class schedule for the fall. Coming up in the middle of September are a wide variety of times and days for our Basic Weaving, Projects & Advanced Weaving, and Introduction to Four Shaft Weaving classes. We also have Denise Vauthier offering her Silk Painting & Surface Design class on September 15 & 16, Margaret Fisher offering Sensational Slip Stitches on September 16, and an exploration of SAORI weaving (which you can read more about in this article written by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith, or click here to visit the website of Saori Worcester in Massachusettes).

Finally, plan to stop by the shop on Saturday or Sunday, September 8 & 9, as Springwater will be having an extra-special Back To School sale! We'll have our studio space filled with selected yarns, fibers, accessories, equipment, and books / patterns marked at least 40% off of retail; some are donated, some are remainders, and some special items will be directly from our stock! We're also using this sale as an opportunity to collect items for N Street Village to use in their outreach and assistance to homeless and low-income women in Washington, DC; next week we'll post a list of requested items and give you more information on this wonderful organization.

In the meantime, enjoy your last "summer" week, and stop by for a visit soon!
