New Video from Nan!

Our own Nan Loncharich has a new video on "Making a Simple Flower Pin," a companion piece to her book, Making Flowers from Wool, that came out last year.

Nan's book, and the wool strips used in the video, are available at our online shop, Spoonwood Gallery.

Flowers Everywhere!

If you come to this year's An Artful Affair, GWCC's annual trunk show extraordinaire, this is some of what you'll see: beautiful wool flowers handcrafted by our own Nan Loncharich, author of Making Flowers from Wool, and mixed media art by Cia Williford. Both ladies are founding members of GWCC.

Come by and visit the show on Saturday, October 1st. We'd love to meet you (and we'll have the best cookies in town, too -- promise!).

Book News

Two of our members have exciting book information to share. The first, Cia Williford, will be one of the writers featured in a new anthology of children's bedtime poetry published by Blooming Tree Press. The book, entitled Sweet Dreams, will be hardcover and feature four-color illustrations by artist Nancy Miller. The book is scheduled for release on November 23, 2010. Cia also has a poem in the current (June/July) issue of Hopscotch for Girls magazine.


Second, Nan Loncharich, whose article on hat bands was just published in Rug Hooking Magazine, will have her full-length "how-to" on making wool flowers published in book form next year. Details will follow as the publication date drawers nearer.

Nan's Hat Bands

Our own Nan Loncharich is featured in the current (June/July/August 2010) issue of Rug Hooking Magazine with an article on her hat bands, shown in the accompanying picture. You can see a bit of the article online here if you don't have access to the magazine.
