Tzouhalem Spinners & Weavers Guild
MEMBERS SALE
The Loft Art Gallery, Mill Bay Centre
October 30 - December 1, 2011


Once again, cooler fall temperatures have you reaching for �warm and woolly� accessories and you�ll want to drop by the Weavers Sale in The Loft Art Gallery in Mill Bay to see what�s new. For the fourth year in a row, the Tzouhalem Spinners & Weavers Guild sets up shop for the whole month of November in the Gallery above �Valley Wines to Vines� in the Mill Bay Shopping Centre. Walls that usually hold framed pictures will be the backdrop for wonderful handmade textiles: scarves, shawls, felted hats, knitted slippers and toques, tea towels, table runners, bags, bookmarks and more, all created right here in the Cowichan Valley. With the festive season coming up, do bring along your Christmas list. Since many of the items on display are one-of-a-kind, the Weavers Sale could be the perfect place to shop for The Perfect Gift! You may, of course, treat yourself to a special treasure as well.

Meet the group�s talented members during the Official Opening on Saturday, October 29, between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. Throughout the remainder of the Weavers Sale, a Tzouhalem Guild member will be on hand from 10:00 a.m. �til closing to welcome visitors to the upstairs Gallery.

They�re also there to encourage folks to try out the on-site looms, just to see what�s involved in throwing a shuttle, changing a shed and weaving a pattern. Other demonstrations, such as Japanese braiding, inkle band weaving, spindle spinning and basket weaving, are scheduled for the four Saturdays in November.

For more information on the Weavers Sale, please contact Barbara at (250) 743-4116 or Evid at (250) 743-7652.
