Beth, Val and I arrived at Providence Retreat Centre in Edmonton for the FAN annual retreat. Checked into our rooms which were very hot!! Felt like we had arrived in Africa rather than Edmonton!
The evening opener to the FAN retreat was a challenge piece of fibre art. Each of us were to complete a journal-sized fibre piece that was to challenge us. We shared the ideas behind our pieces and then through a draw we were able to each select a piece to take home with us. It was great fun. A good way to meet people and see a sampling of fibre work.
