4-H members, here's an interesting program: The Making of Cloth and Culture

We found a program that may be of interest to our 4-H members who work with cloth. Quoting straight from a press release from the Douglas County Library District:

"A program at Highlands Ranch Library (9292 Ridgeline Boulevard) takes a serious and fascinating look at "Tools of the Trade: The Making of Cloth and Culture" on Saturday, March 28 at 1 p.m. This hands-on class will demonstrate the production of cloth, how both antique and modern tools are used, and how our culture and language has been influenced by cloth production.

Registration is required. To book your spot, stop by your library, call 303-791-READ, or visit the Programs & Events calendar at DouglasCountyLibraries.org.

Fiber artist and librarian Gage Evans will present the program. Evans teaches a variety of classes from felt-making to doll-making to fiber arts history. She's been weaving for twenty years and has studied fiber arts through her associations nationwide."
