The Weavers and Spinners Society of Austin (WSSA) meets at 7:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month. (No meeting in August.) A voluntary "show and tell" by members of selected current projects is followed by a brief discussion of new and old business, then a program is presented by a member or guest speaker. On the fourth Thursday, members gather to weave, spin, knit, or work on other fiber-related projects. It is a perfect venue for beginners to gather tips and techniques from more experienced fiber artists. Questions?

Meetings are held in the Austin Recreation Center building, 1301 Shoal Creek, Austin, Texas. Membership is $15 per year for active membership, $7.50 for students or newsletter-only for out of town members. The year begins January 1. Visitors are always welcome. We invite you to join us. (download membership form) WSSA's mailing address is P.O. Box 164201, Westlake Station, Austin Texas 78746-9998
