2026 looks like being a very special year for trying new techniques and new teachers; we will meet Susan Purney Mark, Satomi Sugiue and Erin Wolfe who will all bring new ideas to the table. Lisa Pierce, a long time Denman resident, is also joining us as a teacher for the first time, with a technique we have not had before - Macrame! Susan is known for mark-making on paper and fabric and will be teaching a one -day course, using both. Satomi brings a fun choice of half-day courses in Temari Balls. Hmmm! Look like a great project for Xmas decor/gifts. Erin is a felter extraordinaire and I am really excited to see what people do under her tutelage for a day or a day & a half... Some old favourites will also attend and bring new ideas. Cynthia Minden will do basketry of course - sign up early to not be disappointed! Caroline Mulders is teaching a scrap-buster quilting class, and Isabelle Fusey has a two day weaving course for beginners. The dates this year are Friday October 16th to Sunday October 18th. Mark the dates! Sadly, Jean Cockburn is away that weekend and so will NOT be teaching her very popular embroidery. Maybe in 2027...
