September 9 - In addition to our usual "welcome back" part of the
program, we will have the display of tea cosies made
from the kits of donated materials.
Also, Mary Ham and Pat Corbett will regale us with some
of the Toronto Guild History.
October 14- Inge Dam will give a talk and an inspiration
fashion show showing us her handwoven
coats, jackets and shawls. Inge is a master
weaver. The topic of her studies was Iron
Age textiles from northern Europe (the Iron
Age was from 500BC to 800AD). In the
course
of this study, Inge became interested
in tablet weaving which she now incorp-
orates into fabrics she weaves.

November 11- Our presenter
will be Marina Dempster. She works primarily
in a technique she adapted from the pre-Colombian Huichol
art of transformational yarn painting. Marina will show us some
of her Huichol pieces and for the majority of the presentation will
get us to work on our piece of Huichol. Please bring your favourite
yarns to work with. To give you a taste of Marina's work see the
