Dyeing Warps with Lorraine and Yvonne
Lorraine is going to talk about koolaid dyeing a warp using multi colours, and I am going to make a silk warp and demonstrate how to tie the warp Ikat fashion. I have a microwave for dying and we will bring relevant dyes, put the warps in dyes and microwave the skeins. Undo the ties and voila! I had thought we could make an Ikat tied weft, but we won’t have enough time. We can talk about it, because it is the same technique basically.
September is membership renewal
$25.00 for a year of happiness

Monday Evening Meeting Location
We will be meeting on the 3rd Monday of month, from 6:45 pm to 9 pm
Location :Cambridge Arts Centre, 60 Dickson St, Cambridge, ON N1R 8N1
Hints to find us:
The correct address for Cambridge Arts Centre is 60 Dickson, right next to the Durwood Senior’s Centre. Instructions on the web site say to enter the Art’s Centre thru the Durwood. But the Durwood is closed in the evening. So we have to enter from the back parking lot.
Putting 12 Cambridge St. Into your GPS will bring you to the end of Cambridge St. with the parking lot on your left and City Hall dead ahead. There is a sign on the back corner of City Hall with an arrow leading under the cement bridge that connects city hall to the Art.’s Centre. The entrance is well lit and a lady at the desk inside will tell you how to get to the multimedia room.

The location is the South Dumfries historical society in the Memorial hall, main floor, 34 Main St. S, St. George, next to the museum. Time 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. You can park across from the post office and walk across the road.
