Textile Travel Tours
WSSA Members Juliann Krute, Fazia Rizvi, and Cricket Rose
Planning a trip? Or just feeling the travel bug? Why not incorporate weaving and spinning and dyeing into your wanderlust adventure? In this member-led presentation, you’ll learn a bit about what’s out there as far as textiles-based travel tours go, and gain some valuable tips for making your trip a success.
Whether you want to roam and observe, focusing on cultural and traditional techniques, or take intensive or beginner hands-on classes, there are options, from bespoke additions such as curator-led tours of private collections to exclusive studio visits.
This program will be held via Zoom-only.

Show-and-Tell EXTRAVAGANZA
We are launching our new monthly weekend meeting on Saturday, January 4th, 2025 with an in-person mega show-and-tell event and a chance to meet new members in person.
Bring what you’ve been longing to share with others, whether it be the new stuff you did over the holidays or previous pieces that you haven’t share with new members (or, if you’re a new member, you’ve never had a chance to share with the guild.)
Go wild! Bring lots! Wander around and see each other’s work, ask questions, oooh and ahh of the feel-you-can’t-get-over-Zoom of the yarn and fabric and the vibrant colors of dyed pieces. We will have tables all over the room setup and you can claim some space to lay all your stuff out.
In-person at the Northwest Recreation Center
2913 Northland Dr, Austin, TX 78757
