Tools of fiber It's a long way from flax stems and un carded wool to handwoven garments, but a very good opportunity now exists in the Asheville area to see a condensed version of the whole spinning and weaving craft under one roof. The exhibit, entitled, "Tools for Fiber," is appearing in the museum area of the Folk Art Center of the Southern High land Handicraft Guild from November 1, 1980 thru April 1981. Flax, cotton and wool are displayed for handling at the entrance to the walk-through exhibit. Tools and photo graphs indicate the initial steps in preparing the raw fibers for use. Spinning wheels and looms of differing vintage depict the evolution of the tools. Dominating the floor space is a bulky Tin Lizzy of looms: a pioneer-type structure with an overhead beater, fashioned out of rough hewn wood. Nearby is the four harness LeClerc loom - the compact, modem version of the weaver's tool. Dale Iiles, chairperson for the exhibit committee, com ments on the show: "The exhibit is primarily aimed at school children, although we are hoping to make it very interesting for adults also. It's to have a 'Then and Now' aspect. We want to show how people had to get their materials together to make yam and weave, and why people are still doing it." With this aim in mind, invitations are being extended to school groups in the area to visit the exhibit. Pre-visit packets have been made up for K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and high school groups, which include samples of homespun yam and woven fabric and story books which relate sources of fiber and the uses of fabric. Students will be able to make simple, hand-held looms out of ordi ary items. Guild members and volunteers will demonstrate the operation of tools at the Folk Art Center for groups. The November meeting of the Sierra Club will feature a slide show depicting wild flowers from January through December as presented by Dr. Robert Kamp of the UNC-A Botanical Gardens.
