Next Guild meeting on October 13, 1pm  Doors open at noon for social hour.

Masks are recommended but not required.  There will be no snacks and drinks offered, so bring your own water bottle.  If you are reluctant to meet in person, we plan to stream the meeting.

Our program presenter, Ann Morton, will offer a comprehensive visual review of the Violet Protest, a nationwide public engagement project that employs handmade textiles as tools for protest against political divisiveness, and instead, generates a creative call for national unity. Thousands of makers from across all 50 states, DC and Canada have contributed 8×8 inch squares using a variety of textile processes, and equal parts red and blue, to create their individual messages supporting the core values of the Violet Protest. The project goal is to send bundles of approx. 24-25 of these individual squares to all members of the 117th US Congress by early 2022 as a unique demonstration of protest, and to voice our hopes and support for cooperation between lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
