Creative Strands - fiberarts conference

Creative Strands, A Fiber Arts Conference is to be held July 7-11, 2004 at Bucknell University Campus, Lewisburg, PA. It appears that it is to be a glorious affair and within most pocketbook's reach. The affair is presented by Augusta Marketing. Along with usual categories are several workshops on silk felting from scarves to "celestial balls", color and design, dyeing both natural and with other means.

At this point, all classes are open. For information, registration, schedules, guest teachers, see:Creative Strands.
