[vavstuga-announce] August news

[Vavstuga LLC]

Hello everyone,
Here is our news of the month. We still have a few openings in our 
August Basics classes for any last minute planners.

August 2007

We are putting together our schedule for next year. If you have any 
particular requests, this would be a good time to let us know. One goal 
for next year is to make more of the classes available for newcomers to 
Vävstuga. Some classes may focus more on setting up the loom and general 
technique at various levels, and other classes may include less setup 
time and more weaving time. Please let us know what you think about this 
idea.

The Fiber Twist <http://www.fibertwist.com/>, October 27 and 28, is an 
event to put on your calendar. This weekend fiber event includes a 
central marketplace as well as the opportunity to take tours of various 
local farms, schools, etc. 

Our newly established bed and  breakfast will be available for those who 
would like to come from "away." Vavstuga Club precedes that week -->

Our mini-movie <http://www.vavstuga.com/publish/movies.shtml#butterfly> 
offering for this month is a demonstration on winding a butterfly 
shuttle.  We are right in the middle of a rug class while I am writing 
this, and we are making lots of butterfly shuttles used for rölakan, rya 
and flossa techniques. Students are enjoying using our specially made 
flossa bars <http://www.vavstuga.com/store/shuttles.shtml#access>.

We very much enjoyed attending NEWS last month. We took an Ideal Loom as 
well as a Standard Loom, and lots of shelves full of yarns and books.  
We were delighted to see so many former students at our booth. Thank you 
all!
