Our motto is: "Each one, Teach one."
Purposes of DFA
Desert Fiber Arts was
organized in 1974 as a non-profit, educational and service organization open
to any interested person. Our members are drawn from about a 1-hour radius
around the Tri-Cities, WA, from south central Washington
and northeastern Oregon.
Our purposes are:
1) to promote
participation in and appreciation for fine craftsmanship related to the fiber
arts and
2) to encourage the development and interest of the craft field within the
arts, in education, therapy, marketing, and the community as a whole.
Join Us for Meetings
Our members meet monthly, September
through May, at locations around the Tri-Cities. All these General
Meetings are open to the public. Check the Calendar
for dates and locations.
In June or July, we enjoy Dye in the Park, a dye session in a local
park. Our August meeting is demonstrating at the Fiber Arts Booth at the
Benton Franklin Fair.
Our Biannual Membership Show is
exhibited at the Allied
Arts Gallery in Richland,
WA. Next scheduled show:
January, 2011.
Study Groups
All members are encouraged to join a
Study Group. These are special interest groups that focus on a particular
technique or on a chosen project. Study Groups meet at their own discretion
and, as available, dates are added to the Calendar.
These are fluid groups that shift their focus or that start and finish
throughout the year.
Our current study groups are:
·
The
Great Wheels Spinning Group – meets every Tuesday evening at
various spots around the Tri-Cities.
·
Daytime
Spinning – meets by special arrangement
·
