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
                               artice on her in Jan/Feb 2007 Fibre Arts Magazine
