Attention Cricket and Rigid Heddle loom owners! Woven Art is please to announce the start of a new Cricket Club here at the shop. The purpose of the club is to offer rigid heddle weavers a place to share common interests, learn new things and be part of a social weaving community.

We will be meeting from 1:00 pm to 4:00 on the second Sunday of the month, starting January 15, 2012. Come join your fellow weavers for a fun afternoon of weaving and socializing. Bring your loom and whatever project you are currently working on, or get ideas for a new project. A brief technique demo is also on the schedule. Please call in advance to let us know you will be attending.

This year, think about keeping most of your holiday money in your own community this year by shopping at local stores. East Lansing is jumping on the band wagon with Green Friday (December 2) and Winter Glow (December 3). All downtown East Lansing stores are being encouraged to have special events and deals on both of these days. Winter Glow will feature real reindeer, a tree lighting,luminaries and lots more holiday themed fun. Green Friday is East Lansing's answer to the crazy mall focused Black Friday. I promise it will be laid back, festive, and Woven Art is participating with soon to be announced deals.

Due to popular demand, Shacht Spindle Co will be making a special edition of Cherry Wolf Pups LT, Baby Wolfs, and Matchless Spinning Wheels. These will be offered for a limited time only. If you would like one, please place your order with Woven Art right away.

One of the things that makes knitting, crochet and other fiber crafts a bit different from other art forms is the potential for social interaction. You can do your fiber craft on your own, and often I enjoy that. But knitting and crochet in particular are well suited to participation with others. There is nothing quite as lovely as chatting with friendly people in an inviting environment while your hands are working with beautiful materials.
Woven Art has some opportunities to do just that.
Sunday Afternoons you will always find a group of people making things in our comfy chairs. On the 1st Sunday of every month, you will encounter a book discussion! Everyone is welcome to the Woven Art book club, but if you would like to participate, please call ahead for the book title, so you can read it.

We are adding a new night for crafting together - starting September 22, every Thursday is Craft Night! Bring your knitting, crocheting, spinning wheel or portable loom, and enjoy the company of others while you enjoy your craft! 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., free of course.
