Fall Class Schedule Posted

Fall always brings changes, and there are some changes coming to The Fiber Factory. Su Walker is heading to the Northwest were the sun rarely shines. She has, however, provided us with a quite capable successor. Please welcome Pam Pollack to our teaching staff.

Speaking of our delightful teaching staff, they have provided a plethora of classes this fall. We implore you to take a little side trip to www.fiberfactory.com as it is well worth it. You can download or print a PDF file from the the main page if you are so inclined. Many of the classes are geared toward small projects, excellent for gift giving. If a class interests you and is not offered at a time convenient to your schedule, by all means, ask us if we can offer it again for you and a friend to take together.

(Insert heavy sigh here…) One of the less welcome changes coming is the announced retirement of our beloved Lori Smith. (Insert collective gasp here!) Although we threatened to lock the doors and not let her leave, we understand her desire to stay home and fulfill her own creative desires; including weaving the large rug her husband has been patiently waiting for the past 11 years while she has been here. Of course there will be a party! Mark your calendar for the afternoon of September 15^th. If you have ever made something in a class Lori taught, you MUST bring it to share. It would be awesome to see the impact that we know she has made on us all.

New Yarns, Trunk Shows, a Dye Day and Stuff!

We will post information as they are scheduled and arrive via social media, email and our web page. Check the web page often for specials and activities. They always show up there first!

In case you we wondering, the first phase of Light Rail construction has been quite painless, as long as you stay off of Mesa Drive. Activity will be minimal through the fall and winter months. Remember that you can always access our parking lot via First Street to Robson, turn west down the alley and park all day. Those signs that say restricted parking, well the signs are there to keep others out so you have a space to park!

Susan, Terri and the Fiber Factory Gang
