• The winter holiday potluck. While we eat, we talk about our Murphy’s Law experiences. If something can go wrong, it will.
January – Lynn H (aka ColorJoy) will present “Color: Losing the Fear”.
• Program description:
o Do you hold yourself back when you consider new color combinations? Does the process of weaving make you happy, but your yarn choices perhaps don't look the way you anticipated after weaving? Michigan Traditional Arts/MTAAP Master Artist Lynn Hershberger has been studying the combining of colors for over three decades, and teaching about it for nearly twenty years.
o In this presentation, Lynn will cover a table with yarns of different colors, and show combinations hands on while explaining why they work or not. She will break down color jargon into concepts for everyone. She will introduce tried-and-true combination methods which have stood the test of time, and which do not have to be boring to succeed.
o You will surely return to your loom with more confidence.

May –

o annual election, group reports: community outreach, study group, early weavers, spinners, portable looms
