September 28, Verde Valley Fiber Artisans
Members of the Verde Valley Fiber Artisans will have their spinning wheels humming for “Monday at the Museum” at the Sedona Heritage Museum on September 28, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The spinners’ guild was formed over 35 years ago by Betty Gaudy and Mary Pendleton of the Pendleton Weaving studio in Sedona along with a few weavers in the Verde Valley. The guild continues today with some 40 to 50 members actively pursuing Fiber Arts such as weaving, spinning, basket-making, and dyeing. Recently, the guild has expanded their fiber interests to include knitting, beading, felting, and remaking old clothing into something new and avoiding adding to the fast fashion waste. They would be happy to share their art with you, and to answer any questions you might have. There is no fee for this demonstration.
“Monday at the Museum” is a demonstration conducted every Monday. Please call for a current schedule. The Museum is always looking for participants who are willing to share their knowledge and skills. For details call 928-282-7038.
