Last Chance to Sign up for Warping Class
Send your $25 check to HFG Guild Treasurer Jan Marks before the July meeting to join this class.
Our very own Sharlet Elms will lead you through warping a loom "front to back", "back to front," and using a sectional beam in her three-part se-ries. This will be a demo style workshop so you do not need to bring a loom. You will, however, have a chance to gain some hands-on experience using Sharlet’s demo loom. Sharlet will be available for questions between the monthly classes as participants practice at home.
Classes will be at the Grange Hall July 18th & August 15th from 12:30-4:30. The final meet-ing will be at Jan Marks' home on September 19th. Cost $25 for all 3 sessions plus a $5 ma-terials fee to be paid directly to Sharlet for print-ed materials.

When sending in your check, include name, email, phone, & previous warping experience
