Fiber Fun Days
Fiber Fun days are usually held on a monthly basis. These are typically short 4 to 6 hour classes taught by a current member or an invited instructor. The instructor determines the fee for the class which usually includes supplies.
Non-members can attend a FFD but must contact the guild at mhkfiberarts@gmail.com to ensure a spot is open and to register. Non-members will be charged an additional $10. This money will go to the Guild. The non-member fee may go towards the guest’s yearly membership fee if they choose to join. In order for the fee to count toward the yearly membership, the remaining balance of the membership fee must be paid by the next business meeting.
