January/February 2010
Greetings! We're starting this fresh new Decade with
events that take us from coast to coast, beginning in
sunny (we hope!) Anaheim, CA next week, then back to
home base in Rahway, NJ to debut a new
Fasturn workshop!
| ------- Crafting in Anaheim, CA ------ |
 |
|
If you're in the Anaheim area, come by the
Craft
SuperShow,
Jan 22-23, 2010, a new consumer
show sponsored by the Craft & Hobby Association.
Lisa will share African style ideas and sign books on
the show floor on Saturday afternoon (Jan 23) from 1 to
2pm, and again from 2 to 3pm. Enjoy the free tips,
share a few of your own, and make this Bogolan
Amulet Pouch Necklace! Free with general show
admission. (This is not a regular vendor booth set-up,
but Lisa's books and a few other select items will be
available for purchase)

If you've looked at the finished results of the
Fasturn tool and still can't quite figure out how it works...
If you love the dimensional look of fabric tubes (with
NO RAW EDGES!!) but have been intimidated...
If you're in need of a fun, productive and practical winter
fabric project...
Then register today for this new Cultured Expressions
workshop on February 6 at the CE Studio in
Rahway, NJ! Become a "Fasturn Fanatic"
as
Lisa guides you through the use of this wonderful tool.
You'll create
your own coiled bowl or dimensional wall art project,
learning how
to measure for and prepare the bias fabric strips, filling
and turning them with the Fasturn, and transforming
the fabric
tubes into a gorgeous, professional looking coiled
bowl or dimensional wall art. The workshop fee
includes a set of 3 Fasturn tools to take home with
you, plus, enjoy an all-day workshop discount of 10%
off of all CE merchandise!
