Jerry Sullivan, founder and owner of Precision Camera will be presenting at our meeting on Thursday, to talk about photographing fiber and weaving!  Jerry knows how hard it is to photograph fibers and material — he will talk about composition for exhibit entry and the basics of good photography but he will also address the specific needs for lighting (how and how much) to shoot fiber and ways get the angles needed to bring out the best of color and texture.

We open the doors at 6:30 pm for visiting and checking out what people have brought to share.  Short business meeting and program start at 7:00 pm. Remember to bring your show and tell!

Time to chill together after the hectic good times for WEST. The spinning circle will be active as usual and the library will be open for reading or checking out of materials. If you have any other projects you’d like to work on, feel free to bring them instead, the more the merrier.

Weaving 101 will resume in the fall.
