The Gathering
One of NHA's most important roles is sponsoring fiber-related events. For these events, each member state takes their turn hosting the event, and takes primary responsibility for the event when they are host state.
The Gathering
NHA sponsors a biennial weekend of intensive workshops and sharing of ideas for spinners throughout the region, known as The Gathering.
All member states take turns at hosting The Gathering. NHA members are eligible to attend The Gathering. Space is limited, however, so please register early to ensure your place at this wonderful event.
The Vermont committee for the 2010 NHA Gathering has been busy! The 2010 NHA Gathering, November 5, 6, & 7, 2010, will be held in Southern Vermont at the Grand Summit Resort Hotel & Conference Center at Mount Snow, Rt. 100, West Dover, VT (www.mountsnow.com) which is very convenient to all of New England. Rooms/studios are reserved for $99/night (sleep 4). Larger accommodations are available at higher rates. Also, NHA members may stay over prior to, or after the event, at the same rate. We will have access to the outdoor heated swimming pool, and hot tub, as well as the sauna. (Spa facilities are available at additional cost).
Currently, ten Mentors are scheduled to teach at the Gathering: Sara Lamb from California, Deb Menz from Wisconsin, Letty Klein and Amy Tyler from Michigan, as well as some New England area instructors. Class topics include: Weaving with Cut Pile; Combs & Hackles; Braid Rugs With Roving; Color Blending at the Wheel; Needle Felting; Natural Dyeing; Knitting/Cutting Without Fear; Wire Knitted Jewelry; and more! There will be a great variety of fiber oriented learning, sensational food, fabulous vendors, and fun!
More information will be posted as it becomes available. Tell your spinning friends, and plan on attending a great fiber Gathering in beautiful Southern Vermont in November 2010!
