TAFAN The Textile and Fibre Arts Network's newsletter from their most recent meeting is available but not on their website yet. This may be their last newsletter and the organisation may be disbanded so it is worth reading to seeing whether you can help save the network. Email southernfelters@gmail.com with your email address and we can email you the attachment.  Extract attached below.

Our next felting day is this Saturday, 7th July.

It will be good to catch up with everyone.

Two special things happening - Victoria is running a cowl neck workshop and we are asking people to bring along any felt items they want put up at our display at Christchurch South Library.  All members are welcome to bring along items as we are not necessarily aiming for perfection, just a wide variety of felted items. We will also be asking for volunteers to help put up the display on Saturday 21 July.

The Cowl workshop

As usual you are welcome to bring your own projects to work on or to participate in Victoria's workshop. Please contact Victoria to find out what to bring and so she knows to expect you. The workshop will be an additional $10 on top of the door charge and any wool you want to purchase.

Everyone else bring your usual supplies with you and don’t forget your lunch and the $10 door charge. People who are new to feting are very welcome.

Other dates of interest
Creative Fibre, Canterbury Area, are having their bi-annual exhibition in the museum 14 – 23 September so it is a good time to start thinking about your entries for this.
