Study Groups
Study groups are small groups focused on specific techniques or topics that meet regularly outside of the general monthly meeting. They provide opportunities to learn, practice, and be inspired.
Joining a study group is simple:
just show up! Questions?
Study groups are open to members, and guests are welcome to attend one meeting before becoming a member.
Any member can organize
a study group! Have an idea?

FIBER STUDY GROUP

SWATCH SWAP
Swatch Swap is about sharing our love of fibers while exploring topics that change yearly. Each topic inspires us to produce a sample that challenges us to explore, experiment, and simply try something new. Each member creates swatches for the full group, and swatches are exchanged yearly. A book of each year’s swatches are housed in our library.
Swatch Swap meets one a year to exchange swatches and establish the theme for the followig yera. Contact Annie for more info at alancaster.lancaster@gmail.com.
