Fiber Arts Group

Fiber Arts Group

The Clear Water Fiber Guild is a group for fiber enthusiasts in Wisconsin’s Chippewa Valley. Whether you are a spinner, knitter/crocheter, weaver, dyer, or someone new to the fiber arts/textile crafts who is looking for a social group, we welcome you! We seek to provide connection, camaraderie, and education.

Our Guild monthly meetings are a relaxed non-structured gathering to work on our projects and share our knowledge, enthusiasm, and experiences.

If you are interested in joining the group, please contact the Altoona Public Library at (715) 839-5029, or Nancy Dotson at (715) 834-3197. Interested persons are welcome to come observe, and we will offer a one-hour introductory workshop twice each year. Please bring your own equipment and supplies for your project to work on during the monthly meetings.

The group will meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Community Room at the Altoona Public Library. Stay as long or as short as you want!

Cookbooks and Cards

Cookbooks and Cards

Everyone checks out the cookbook and makes something from it to bring to the club. During the meeting we’ll discuss if we liked the cookbook and try the different dishes.

After we finish eating and discussing, anyone interested is invited to stay and play a card game. No previous experience playing the game is needed-most of them will likely be new to all of us and simple/easy to pick up.

This program meets one Monday each month 6:00pm – 7:30pm September – May.
