Liz Moncrief, ANWG Education Director, is now scheduling a monthly movie night to be staged on the Zoom platform. The ‘movies’ are not full features of course but snippets (some long some short) which highlight our shared interests in weaving, spinning, fiber plants/animals/tools and as many other categories as we can come up with. She currently has 30+ links in her list for our lineup and will try to mix it up each month so that all members will find something of interest.
Movie Bites will run from 6:30 pm – 8:00 Pacific Time Zone, which accommodates most ANWG members. Grab your popcorn, weaving, knitting, spinning and join us. We’re hoping it’ll be a fun new venture.
Coming Up…
Did you think I’d forgotten? Nope, just a bit behind. I’ve scheduled our Sept 2025 Movie Bite for Sept 24, the usual time of 6:30-8 pm PT.
I’m hoping this year to hit more of the local, cultural resources – both contemporary and historical. For ease of geographic accounting, I’m starting with the west coast and will move eastward as I can find good videos so that we can cover most member guilds and their local interests. For September I have 3 videos that feature Coast Salish Weaving, Fabric of Canada, and a special piece about Vancouver BC/Heritage Weaving.
Here is your zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/98213403067?pwd=16WW6KDIZTtHf1QXoNg1gym8ACoViV.1
It’ll feel great to see everyone again, since I missed you at the conference. Are you recovered? Do you want to be recovered, or do you want to take that warm glow clear into the winter months? Your call. 😊
Liz
