Key Note Speaker – Carin Engen Art if like magic to me. The process of making a thought turn into something that can be held in my hand is what I love. It’s amazing. It is one of the things that makes me get out of bed in the morning. This creative urge has lead me down lots of roads and as a result I have become proficient at many fiber art techniques including dyeing, spinning, knitting, crochet, quilting, papermaking, basket making, willow furniture making and my latest love, felting. I can use many of the techniques I have learned during my art journey in my felted items. I continue to explore different techniques and designs and follow my idea to make one-of-a-kind felted items and teach it to others. Shawls on the Water and Fiber in the Sky Page 2 of 22 Open Spin-In Friday and Saturday the general public is invited to observe our craft, and to join us in a day-long Spin In. Each Conference location has different requirements and these need to be respected. There will be no charge but Guests are required to sign in at the Registration Table and receive a Guest Pass valid from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM. Visiting children 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Important…if you plan to only attend this Open Spin In, it is not necessary to Pre-Register and pay the $35.00 Registration Fee. Simply come to the Spin In and pick up a Guest Pass. This means, however, you will not be able to attend the Saturday Evening Festivities or attend classes. Whitworth University specific notes Each Conference location has different requirements and these need to be respected. Individuals needing assistance or special accommodation to fully participate in the conference should describe their needs on the registration form. The conference committee will in turn notify the Whitworth University of your requests. It takes less than 15 minutes to walk at a slow pace from the Fieldhouse (where the vendors and spinning will be) to the HUB dining hall. However, a limited number of golf carts will be available at conference to ferry people between the Fieldhouse & more distant buildings. Please wear your name tag at all times in the Fieldhouse. People without name tags will be asked to leave. The Whitworth University is an alcohol-free campus. There is to be no on-campus possession, consumption, or distribution of alcohol, illegal drugs or mood-altering substances, or controlled medication without a prescription.

Vehicles parked in spaces designated for faculty, staff, carpool or disabled guest will be cited. Smoking is not allowed in any campus buildings, including residence hall rooms, bathrooms, and lounges. Because of a Washington State Law that went into effect on December 8, 2005, smoking is also not allowed within 25 feet of any building entrance, including windows that open. The following items unfortunately cannot be provided by Conference Services, so you may wish to bring your own: Alarm clocks, fans, hangers, reading lamps, mirrors (mirrors are provided in the restrooms and most hallways, but not in all individual rooms). As most bathrooms are shared facilities, you may wish to bring a bathrobe and slippers with you. You may want to bring the following with you: Your usual spinning supplies (niddy noddy, ball winder, lazy kate, etc.) for open spin times. A chair pad for more comfortable sitting. Extra blankets as the residence halls are frequently chilly. Your personal sleeping pillow. An extra lamp for use in your residence hall room or the Fieldhouse. A travel mug to enable you to eliminate using extra Styrofoam cups and avoid spills. Paper and pen or pencil. Personal snacks. Page 3 of 22 Shawls on the Water and Fiber in the Sky Gallery for Shawls on the Water and Fiber in the Sky The Gallery is always special and over the years many memorable items have been entered. Completed Fiber Exchange items from 2012 will be on display along with any undelivered projects from previous Exchanges. This year’s we have two Conference Contests: A) a Batt with 25 yards spun up as yarn. (See Page 5 for details). B) Shawls on the Water. Vote for your favorite People’s Choice Award. The true purpose of the Gallery has always been to not only showcase member’s spinning and completed projects but to also give the NwRSA Judging Committee’s Judging Certification students the opportunity to practice. If we are going to maintain a Certified Judges Program, these people need the practice. So please, please, please…bring lots of skeins and lots of finished projects – judges need ‘good’ skeins as well as ‘not-sogood’ ones! Entry Forms will only be available in the Gallery as exhibits are brought in so if you are sending your items with someone else, please provide them with detailed information for each one. Handspun Skeins and Articles – Rules for 2013 1. Any registered NwRSA member can enter as many skeins and articles as they like as long as each one is different. Entries will be put into classes as you bring them in. Articles must be at least 50% handspun and all spinning must be done by the exhibitor. 2. Skeins must be 25 – 50 yards long, and spun by the exhibitor since the 2012 conference. Skeins larger than that will be judged but will only be eligible for Blue, Red, or White ribbons. The two-yard skein size is recommended, with skeins tied using at least three figure-8 ties. Any fiber, fiber blend, or novelty yarn may use some commercial threads, beads, feathers, lint, hair, etc. Identify all fibers used on the entry form accompanying the article or skein. Skeins must list an intended use or 10 points will be deducted. 3. Articles, including felted items, must be a minimum of 50% handspun; and completed since last year’s conference. Spinning must have been done by the exhibitor. Please attach a two-yarn sample of the yarn used in the completed article. Fulled items must be accompanied by an un-fulled yarn sample. 4. Other special or unusual items not meeting the criteria for judging can be entered for display only. 5. Judging will be done by those who are working toward their NwRSA Judging Certification. 6. Entry forms will be available in the Gallery and entries will be accepted on Thursday, May 30, 1:30 – 6:00 PM. No entries will be accepted after 6:00 PM Thursday, May 30. To see what information will be required, sample forms are on our website, http://www.nwregionalspinners.org/Pages/events.html. 7. Entries for those unable to get to the gallery by the deadline may be mailed at least 10 days prior to Conference to Ann W. Klinect, Attention Gallery, 11014 19th Avenue SE, Suite 8 - PMB 131, Everett, WA 98208. Please include as much information as possible for filling out the gallery entry tag. Email [email protected] if you have questions. For Exhibition Only Members who perhaps are working on new fiber arts categories and techniques that our judging standards have not yet caught up with are welcome to enter these projects for Exhibition Only. Also, anyone wanting to show a completed project or skein but not be judged can put these on display. These items will have a separate entry form, and will not be judged as Gallery entries. Skeins can be of any size. Exhibition Only entries will be evaluated as art with an eye towards creativity, workmanship, and use of fibers. A traveling trophy will be offered for the People’s Choice in this category. Shawls on the Water and Fiber in the Sky Page 4 of 22 NwRSA 2013 Gallery Contests FIBER IN THE SKY!!!

Page 5 of 22 Shawls on the Water and Fiber in the Sky Fiber Exchange -- 2013 The annual NwRSA Fiber Exchange is an opportunity to have some fun by using your spinning and fiber arts skills to create something special for another NwRSA member from fiber that they provide! You submit an 8ounce batch of ready-to-spin fiber and, in exchange, you receive the fiber submission from one of the other exchange participants. You get one year to complete a project of your choice from the fiber you receive in exchange while your fiber spends the same year in another spinner’s hands! Bring or send your completed project to the next year’s conference for judged or non-judged display in the gallery so we can all appreciate your efforts. At the end of the conference weekend, we assign the ready-to-spin fibers for next year’s exchange. Also at the end of the weekend, the project you completed from last year goes back to the person who originally submitted that fiber, and the fiber you entered last year comes home to you as a completed project! This can be a great opportunity to forge social connections with your exchange partner, so please take the time to let your fiberdonor know you are their partner and have received their fiber to work with, and feel free to consult with them on ideas, preference and sizes for your project. To participate, bring your 8 ounces of ready-to-spin fiber, and $3.00 to the 2013 NwRSA Conference, and fill out the form available in the Gallery by 1 pm, Saturday, June 2. Pick up your exchanged fiber on Saturday, June 2 between 5 - 5:45 pm from the Fiber Exchange volunteer in the Gallery. If participating by mail, send your fiber, $3.00, and the completed form you have downloaded from our website, http://www.nwregionalspinners.org/Pages/events.html, by May 1, 2013 to: Fiber exchange, C/O Joyce Thomas, 27515 W Tucker Prairie Rd, Edwall, WA 99008. Note: Please place leftover fiber and other items to be given to your fiber partner in a manila envelope with your name (Made by:) and the recipient’s name (Made for:) in the upper right-hand corner for gallery use. If you are unable to return next year, you will need to arrange to deliver your completed project for display, and pick up the item finished for you by your partner.

Gayle Vallance Shawls on the Water and Fiber in the Sky Page 8 of 22 Instructors Biographies Sarah Anderson A self-taught spinner since 1973, Sarah Anderson is the author of “The Spinner’s Book of Yarn Designs” and has contributed designs for the “All New Homespun Handknit” book. Sarah’s enthusiasm for spinning techniques and constructions has driven her to create an extensive library of different yarn constructions that she loves to share with other spinners. She has taught at SOAR, Golden Gate Fiber Institute, Madrona, NwRSA’s Spinners Conference and for may guilds. She lives, spins, knits and weaves in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and a California quail named Boo. Karen Chabinsky Karen has 19 years of weaving experience and has taught weaving classes at Skagit Country Living Expo and Valley Spinners Guild, Beginning Weaving classes, provided weaving “mini” classes; taught many business computer classes; extensive speaking background including small to large audiences (5 to 500 people), have taken classes at the local level and at national conferences. She has experience working on Draw Looms, Jack, Countermarche, Counterbalance, Rigid Heddle, frame looms, Cardboard weaving, and Inkle Looms; she works with a wide variety of fibers including wool, silk, alpaca, wire and camel to name a few. Her weaving includes but is not limited to twill structure, double weave, lace weaving, Tartans, and ranges from blankets and scarves to fabric and towels. She has taken Master classes from Judith MacKenzie McCuin, Norman Kennedy, Joan Rowan, Sharon Alderman, Robyn Spady, Barbara Doyon, Darryl Lancaster and many other top weaving and spinning teachers. She has also undertaken various individual self-study projects through the Handweaver’s Guild of America covering weave structures, spinning and dyeing. Carin Engen Carin is an award winning fiber artist and workshop instructor who has been using her experimental, playful nature to explore felting and color seriously since 1992. She maintains a studio in Garberville, California where she produces a line of hand dyed wool fabric and fiber as well as her felt art. She is an enthusiastic teacher who encourages innovation in her students’ work. Amelia Garripoli I founded the Bellwether in 2001 to share my joy of all things yarn, wrote Productive Spindling in 2009 and will open The Bellwether Studio in July 2013 in Port Ludlow. The studio is filled with spinning wheels, looms, dyes and fibers. The studio also hosts my workshops to pass on these practical arts to you. I always enjoy teaching at the NwRSA Conference and I am tickled to be back this year. Ann W. Klinect During the early 1980’s, Ann saw women spinning at the Evergreen Fair in Monroe, Washington. Since she was already designing sweaters, the idea of making sweaters from scratch was most intriguing. Spinning lessons followed. Ann joined Valley Spinners and a totally new world of fiber opened. In 1983, Jean Molinari, Fern Baetke, and Ann met for lunch to brainstorm starting and organization for regional spinners, Using Fern’s extensive contact list, inquiry letters were mailed and at a group meeting in Seattle, plans were made to proceed. Ann served on the original Steering Committee for NwRSA, and became the first editor. Over the years, Ann has served NwRSA in many capacities. Through creating her own knitting designs for use with handspun, Ann began teaching Knit Design classes at conference. Jayne Deardorff Jayne has been spinning fiber for 30 years in the beautiful Colville area, where she also processes rovings for so many of us. Join her this year for spinning the Cashmere her darling goats so amply provide. Learn how to get the most from this wonderful fiber. Go to the website me2farm.com and enjoy the photos of all Jayne’s fiber animals and her processing mill. Page 9 of 22 Shawls on the Water and Fiber in the Sky Annette (Angie) Lien Annette (Angie) has knit from the age of 9, and is part of a long line of lace knitters and crocheters that includes both her parents. She is an active member of our local spinning and fiber guilds, and has served NwRSA as a past secretary. She’s also an accomplished artist in multiple media, painting, sketching, needlepoint, and basketry, and did the delightful art for the 2009 Conference. Her knitting regularly earns Grand Champion ribbons at the Interstate Fair. She has been a finalist in the Knitting Guild of America International Design Competition. She likes her designs to fit everyone, and her designs are easily adaptable from extra small size up to plus sizes. She feels that everyone, no matter what size, should find something wonderful to knit for themselves. Her small weaving studio is in her home, and her spinning wheel is in place to take advantage of available moments. She has taken refuge in spinning, weaving and dyeing for years, incorporating the three disciplines into a single project whenever possible. A love of process and a deep desire to share her skills keeps her involved in these inexhaustible crafts both as a student and teacher. She recently retired from her ‘day job’ as an elementary reading and math tutor, and teaches spinning, weaving and dyeing throughout the Northwest. Susan McKee-Nugent Susan has been knitting for over 50 years and spinning for 37 years. She has devised the method she will be teaching as a quick and easy way to wash a fleece, and get on with the spinning! Lynn Schlosser Lynn is a graduate of Olympic College and the University of the Navy. She started her love of fiber at her Scottish Grandmother’s knee. 45 years later, Lynn is an accomplished artist and instructor with the Columbia Basin Fiber Institute. She has worked as a Photographer, Historic Textile Designer, and is currently under the care of 40 Shetland sheep, angora goats, and llamas. Lynn has numerous awards for her fiber creations. Terry Niles Terry retired from Central Washington University 9 years ago, where she managed an administrative computing department. Now, she teaches knitting and crochet and supervises a flock of Shetland Sheep and a growing herd of Alpacas and Llamas. She learned to knit and crochet as a child, designs many of her own patterns, and started spinning and weaving 19 years ago. Janis Thompson Janis Thompson is the owner of Dyelots! Fiber studio in Eugene, Oregon. Take a class from her and you will have met the Energizer bunny face-toface. Her teaching style is loose and creative ... yet still on task. She is actively involved in the spinning/dyeing community through the Black Sheep Gathering, NwRSA and the Eugene Textile Center. Judie Overbeek Judie is a Montana spinner, weaver and dyer. She started with a 2H table loom, an armful of acrylic yarns, and has made considerable progress since then! She learned to spin while living in Australia, going from the hand spindle to a borrowed wheel, and that loaner got her on her way. She is grateful to all who have taught her, and continues to learn, to teach, to share. When not on the road teaching or touring, she shares her time with her long-time local guild, and recently served as president of MAWS, the Montana Association of Weavers and Spinners for 6 years, ending in 2012. And still she manages to make time to bake her family's bread! Gayle Vallance Gayle’s interest in sheep was sparked by a 3-year stay in Scotland. Upon returning to Canada, she purchased a small flock of Corriedales and her enthusiasm for spinning began. Her interest never lagged as she pursued a Master Spinner Certificate at Olds College in Alberta and a Certificate of Excellence (Spinning) through the Handweaver’s Guild of America. She now teaches regularly at Olds College Fibre Week and at workshops around the U.S. and Canada. Her interest lies in experimenting with color and texture to create unique knitted and woven projects that make the best use of fibers and spinning techniques.

Contact the conference committee at [email protected] for more information. Mentor Sessions The conference committee would like to offer mentor sessions: quick 20 minute presentation or hands on demonstration of skills relevant to NwRSA. This can be a quick technique, demonstration of spinning a fiber, or a talk about a topic. Authors may want to offer to sign their books. These will be free programs and mentors will not be paid, but may charge for materials. Vendors may do these demonstrations at their booths. If you would like to volunteer to be a mentor, please contact the conference committee. We will put up a notice of times for these sessions at the registration desk.

Class List Sarah Anderson Energy in Hand Spinning Saturday Full Day Cost: $65 Twist is the magic glue that holds together the fiber in yarns. While spinners often strive for balanced plied yarns. In this class we’ll make singles yarns with active twist. These yarns have energy that can be used to create knitted or woven fabrics that feel and look very different from those created with balanced yarn. Students will learn to spin a consistent singles (both s and z) for their energized yarns and I will demonstrate how to contain the active twist in yarn with sizing (as liquid stiffener). After knitting or weaving with sized yarn, the fabric is washed to remove the sizing and release the capture twist energy. Students will knit a swatch from energized, sized yarn and watch it transform as they wash out the sizing. Examples of this type of fabric (knitted and woven) will be available to examine and we’ll discuss creative strategies that incorporate active yarns. A spinner could spend years exploring the possibilities but we’ll fit in what we can in one day. Special skills: Be able to spin a consistent yarn. Provided by instructor: Class handouts and fibers. Bring to class: Spinning wheel in working condition with at least 2 bobbins; knitting needles in sizes 4 – 6; note taking supplies. Sarah Anderson Spinning Coils, etc. Friday AM Half Day Cost: $40 You will be amazed at what you can do with two simple singles when beads and a little fancy finger work are added into the mix.

Provided by instructor: Class handouts and fibers. Bring to class: Spinning wheel in working condition with at least 3 bobbins; note taking supplies. Karen Chabinsky Weaving’s Ins and Outs Friday Full Day Cost: $70 Weavers at all experience levels find themselves at one time or another, dealing with broken threads, crossed threads, “stuck” beaming, and a myriad of other problems. This class would identify specific warping problems, how to correct them, and provide manageable solutions towards preventing these weaving errors. Attendees should bring table looms to class and use these looms to practice the error corrections providing a hands-on learning experience designed to help them become more comfortable with their warp. Through lecture, demonstration and class hands-on correction, Karen will provide techniques to make correcting warp errors clearer and options to decrease errors while warping. Special skills: beginning through advanced weaver. Provided by instructor: Class handouts. Bring to class: students to bring table looms warped to specifications. Page 15 of 22 Shawls on the Water and Fiber in the Sky Karen Chabinsky Weaving Tartans Saturday Full Day Cost: $70 Weaving a Tartan encompasses more than picking “plaid” colors. This class would review what Tartan’s actually are, their history, and dissect what actually qualifies as a Tartan. Weavers would come to class with looms already pre-warped and the focus while weaving would be how to make a true Tartan. Students would not be expected to finish their Tartan in class. Special skills: beginning through advanced weaver. Provided by instructor: Class handouts. Bring to class: students to bring table looms warped to specifications. Jayne Deardorff Exploring the Wonderful World of Cashmere Fiber Friday AM Half Day Cost: $55 In this class we will learn more about the wonderful world of Cashmere fiber.

Carin Engen Introduction to Nuno Felting Saturday PM Half Day Cost: $60 Explore the magical technique of Nuno felting. This will introduce you to the tools, materials and methods used to make this amazing process happen. It’s like painting with fibers. During the process the fibers actually migrate through the fabric. If you don’t cover the entire fabric with fiber a secondary pattern happens because the wool fibers shrink but the fabric doesn’t, creating lots of pucker. Special skills: None. Provided by instructor: Silk scarf, extra fine Merino top, Bombyx silk roving and detailed instruction sheet. Bring to class: 2 old towels, plastic dish pan, scissors, scraps of yarn if they wish. Carin Engen The Holey Scarf Friday Full Day Cost: $100 The trick for this technique is the fine layout. If you have too many fibers you won’t have drape, if you don’t have enough your piece won’t be strong enough. After you get the hang of the amount of fiber you need to make a successful felted piece and the shrinkage rate the sky if the limit for color and design. No silk fabric backing is used. Special skills: None. Provided by instructor: Class handouts and fibers. Bring to class: Scissors, 2 old towels, a plastic dishpan.
