News Release

Vancouver Island Fibre Fest  - News Release this week in the papers will be featuring Sivia Harding. Thought I would share it with everyone

Sivia Harding is coming to the Vancouver Island Fibre Fest on May 3, 4 & 5! Sivia is a knitter/designer and a very sought after teacher from Portland Oregon who has taught all over Canada and the US.  Sivia loves designing lace patterns and combining them with beads. Her classes are fun and inspirational.
Sivia is teaching three different sessions at the Fibre Fest:
Harmonia’s Rings; the Harmonia’s Rings family of patterns use Cat Bordhi’s Moebius cast on to achieve the spiral neck shape and features a stitch pattern that creates concentric rings. Many different techniques will be taught in this 3 ½ hr workshop on Friday May 3.
Fill a Triangle with Lace is on Saturday May 4. In this class Sivia will examine the structure of the top-down triangle shawl. This workshop is the perfect blend of lace design skills, inspiration and discovery. Students will receive the benefit of Sivia’s years of experience in designing innovative lace shawls and exceptional beaded lace.
Bead Whimsy is on Sunday May 5. You will learn how to put beautiful beads in an assortment of stitch patterns.  While working a small sampler you will explore potential beading situations; how to bead cables, lace, texture or just plain knitting.
Sivia’s classes are filling up quickly so register soon to avoid disappointment. Registration is available at the Community Centre or the Sportsplex. For more information on these and the many other workshops being offered at the Vancouver Island Fibre Fest call Judy at the City of Campbell River Community Centre, (250)286-1161 or email; judy.ridgway@campbellriver.ca
