| The Marin Needle Arts Guild brings together quilters, needle artists and fiber artists. Membership is open to anyone who has an interest in the Needle Arts. |
Our goal is to promote the Needle Arts through education. This year, 2009, we are concentrating our efforts on helping new members learn a variety of skills. There will be workshop classes the 3rd Saturday of most months. Members are always available to help anyone interested in learning a new skill, or improving their techniques. Beginners are encouraged to come join us for a fun filled day of learning and productivity.
We are also sponsoring junior group, MSC4Kids, (Marin Sewing Club for Kids) . Initially the group will be meeting at doodlebug of Marin, in San Anselmo. We have received a great response from the community and look forward to working with the children and mentoring them as they learn new skills related to fiber arts. This will lay the foundation they need to care on the traditions we all love.
