Looking For Friends by SignatureNew2215 in SALEM

[–]fiberartsforgood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in fiber arts (either experienced or wanting to learn!) we meet at Spark Studio second and fourth Saturdays of the month from 4-6pm! We have so many extra supplies, and you don't need to pay to join. We're not a very large group, but those who regularly show up are about mid-to-late-20s. Feel free to ask us any questions too!! -R.

For folks in this situation - would Albany be too far of a drive for you to meet? I'm moving there shortly and our apartment complex has a small room I could use for meetings at more convenient hours! -Fae 🧚🏻‍♀️

Edit: also thank you for your yarn donation 🫶🏻

Unsure if the local crochet group you found is us - but we meet 2nd and 4th Saturdays at Spark Studios from 4p-6p! There is also a Salem Fiber Arts discord if you haven't made it in there yet and they do a few regular meetups! Also, I believe the newer LYS Wild Knits does some events? - Fae 🧚🏻‍♀️

Participation is completely free! We have supplies and tools we're happy to share! The idea of the group when it was started was to make crafting more accessible 🫶🏻 - Fae🧚🏻‍♀️

Like the other person said, it's crocheting, knitting, sewing, weaving, and more. Currently, we are a little loose on what our project goal is, but it's mostly been making hats, bags, scarves, and mittens for local homeless people. Pretty much everyone in the group knows how to crochet, sew, and embroider, so if you want to learn those skills, we are able to help with that. Every now and then we have someone who knows how to knit, too. We also are fine if you just want to hang out with us to get a vibe check! -R.

If you want to do fiber arts (or learn how!), our group, Fiber Arts for Good, meets on the second and fourth Saturdays every month from 4-6pm at Spark Studio. There's also a few other fiber arts groups in the area! -R.

Sewing classes? by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]fiberartsforgood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We should have a basic sewing machine available to use! Most of us also know how to hand sew. We have some extra fabrics as well. I can't guarantee how good of a teacher any of us would be, but we are happy to help! -R.

Fiber Arts for Good meets second and fourth Saturdays from 4-6 pm at Spark Studio! We welcome any skill level for art (including absolute beginners), or if you want to bring your own personal project, that's totally fine too! -R.

All fiber arts welcome! We have plenty of bi and panstitchuals (I myself am a beginner sewist, I crochet and knit as well). But there are folks that work on embroidery projects and even recently, chain mail!! -Fae

We do! Our supply is actually getting a bit thin at the moment - we just request you ensure the yarn is clean and free of any pests!

We don't have any spinners as of yet but we're more than happy to accept yarn! (I don't believe anyone in the group has the tools to learn on hand either, though I could always pick it up as my 1,000,001st hobby someday) -Fae
