January 27: Blending Boards with Roy Clemes
This is an in-person & Zoom meeting, weather permitting. Roy will be joining us via Zoom.
Doors open at 6:15 PM, meeting starts at 6:45 PM
Learn how to use a Blending Board from one of its original designers! In 2011, Roy and his father Henry, Clemes & Clemes in Pinole, created a new tool that became the wildly popular Blending Board. This demonstration will show the versatility of the blending board - blending fibers of various types, lengths, and colors - but also the strength of the blending board - quickly preparing fiber as rolags for woolen spinning. Wool, mohair, alpaca, cotton, feathers, dog hair, shredded silk fabric, cut yarn, odds and ends from other projects – your imagination is the only limiting factor.
Guests are welcome to attend one meeting free of charge prior to joining the guild.
