- The Rocky Mountain Weavers' Guild Annual Fiber Art Show and Sale is fast approaching! Along with the Stock Show demonstrations, the Guild’s Annual Sale is our biggest opportunity to share our love of the fiber arts with family, friends, and the community. Even if you don’t want to sell your work, the Sale has loads of things you can do to participate. It’s fun, it’s inspiring, it’s exciting to be part of this great event!

- Ways to Get Involved
- Demonstrations: We’d like to have two (or more) members demonstrating some kind of fiber technique during the sale. This can be weaving (the Guild has a loom), spinning, knitting, stitching, beading . . .
- Sign-up sheets will be available at the September and October Guild meetings.
-
- Working the Sale: We always need greeters, customer service assistants, cashier assistants, and – if you’re good with numbers and handy with a calculator – cashiers! (Seriously, don’t volunteer for cashier unless you really are a numbers person.)
- Sign-up sheets will be available at the September and October Guild meetings.
-
- Other: This is a very big category! If you have a special talent and would like to get involved, contact one of the Sale Committee members and see what you can work out.
-
- If you want to Sell Stuff
- Hopefully you’ve been keeping up with the announcements in the newsletters. The following documents can be downloaded from this site and will give you the information you need:
- General Information and Standards 2008.doc: What to do, where to go, how to drop off items, how to collect unsold things after it’s over. Specific instructions on filling out inventory sheets – this is how we keep track of what you’ve submitted and what you’ve sold, and therefore, how much money you get (very important). This also defines what will be accepted for the sale, and provides guidelines for quality. Don’t panic! We accept a wide range of techniques, and the quality is expected to look professional, but not magic.
- Inventorysheet2008.xls: You can either print one out, fill it out by hand, and turn it in with your items, or download it, fill it out electronically, and turn it in on a CD or external drive (travel or jump – whatever you want to call it). If you have more than 3 pages of inventory, we ask that you submit them electronically to save the inventory crew the agony of entering all of your items at check in, while you hang around and wait.
- Hang Tags: These can’t be downloaded. These will be available at the September and October meetings. If you absolutely can’t attend a meeting, contact the Sale Committee and we'll mail some out to you. We do request that you reimburse the Guild for the postage.
