New events calendar

We're excited this week to announce our new calendar of events. We've been meeting and talking with presenters and instructors for months and now we're rolling out the dates.

Everything from cooking classes, basic alpaca ownership and fiber workshops to a Christmas open house, retreats, a medical herbalism course and more.

The cooking classes will be at Clabber Girl in Terre Haute. The first one is Nov. 13 on ratio cooking with our own Robyn Morton. Then Sister Ann Sullivan, founding director of White Violet Center for Eco-Justice, will present a class on Christmas Delicacies on Dec. 11 you won't want to miss.

We'll have Michael Morwood back Jan. 7-8 for a Shaping Christian Imagination in the 21st Century retreat and Jan Novotka presenting a Wilderness Fast June 2-5.

We have a chance of a lifetime event for those with interests in herbs. A medical herbalism course with author, lecturer and practicing herbalist Matthew Wood is June 17-19.

In addition to our annual favorite Fiber Frolic Jan. 28-20 and beginning and advanced spinning and weaving workshops, we're offering a new felted slippers workshop Feb. 19 and others later in 2011.

Please take a moment to look at our online events calendar at www.WhiteViolet.org to see what interests you and note the registration deadlines. We look forward to sharing our events and programs and hearing any ideas you have for new offerings.

Check back to our online calendar occasionally to see what new events we've added.

Celebrate Fiber!

Sycamore Farm Bed and Breakfast Inn in Terre Haute is hosting "Celebrate Fiber!" a one-day fiber event this Saturday, Oct. 10, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We will have a booth and will be selling our alpaca yarn, roving and handmade alpaca hats and scarves. We'll also have socks, gloves and felted art wall hangings by Sister Ruth Johnson for sale.

We have many Sisters of Providence, staff and volunteers who knit and crochet hats and scarves that are sold to help offset the costs of the hands-on environmental education programs at White Violet Center. We look forward to catching up with friends and meeting new ones at this event, so we hope to see you there.

Sycamore Farm is on the East side of Terre Haute, 2.5 miles north of I-70, exit 11, and one mile south of U.S. Hwy 40. The address is 5001 East Poplar Drive, Terre Haute, IN 47803.
There will be workshops, vendors and artisans. You'll find rug hooking, spinning, weaving, knitting, jewelry, stitching and antiques. The event is sponsored by Riverwools and A CommonCloth.
