FIBER SUMMIT SERIES ABROAD (FSSA)
A portion of every workshop package sold is donated to
For the last 35 years, these skills have given me profound pleasure and serenity. I identify myself as an avid knitter, hand spinner, crocheter, quilter and dyer...a dedicated fiber artist! We created the "Fiber Summit Series Abroad (FSSA)" to enable enthusiasts of fiber arts to convene several times a year in exotic and beautiful settings. FSSA's homebase is located in the Italian Tyrolean Alps and Venice. Knitters, crocheters, hand spinners, weavers, quilters, dyers, students of Kumihimo, and enthusiasts of Temari, embroidery and other needle arts all belong to an extended fiber community that enjoy a wonderful comraderie and understanding of each other based in a shared passion. It makes me extremely happy to provide unique environments where we can share each others' creativity while visiting some of the most beautiful and breath-taking locations on Earth. As a bi-lingual Italian-American, I am in the perfect position to organize and host this special fiber arts series because I take you over as a member of my family in smaller, intimate groups, and not as a tour operator herding a group in a mega-tour environment. I immerse you into Italian culture in towns that have not been destroyed by commercial tourism and where my life-long friendships with the townspeople of San Martino di Castrozza allow our groups to go to special places and participate in unique activites not offered to the casual tourist traveling on their own. You truly are welcomed in the places we visit with open arms and enjoy a very personalized experience on our trips. I look forward to sharing my beloved mountains and Italy with my fiber family and hope you will join us soon for one of our Fiber Summit Series Abroad 2010 workshops. I invite you to peruse our Homepage, San Martino di Castrozza, What Makes Us Unique, and The "I Want It All" Dream Vacation to read about our philosophy, see beautiful pictures of the towns and the mountains, and get a feel for why we go the extra mile for our guests. This site was created as a one-stop reference point on the Italian Dolomites. There are many different articles on the area, and a number of videos and photo albums highlighting past workshops, the places we go, and the people we meet on our special outings. We invite you to sit and indulge in your favorite fiber activity for a while...we can't wait to meet you! A presto, -Daniela
