FIBER FESTIVAL AND CRAFTS SHOW

THERE WILL BE WONDERFUL FIBER ITEMS AS WELL AS BEAUTIFUL CRAFTS FOR SELL.

ONGOING EVENTS ON BOTH DAYS WILL INCLUDE:

AN EARTH LOOM IN WHICH BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN CAN HELP TO MAKE A COMMUNITY WEAVING

FELTING CRAFTS FOR THE CHILDREN

SPECIAL GUEST APPEARENCES WITH QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIODS BY OUR SHEEP AND ALPACAS

(WITH HUMAN INTERPRETORS OF COURSE!)

PLEASE CALL THE FARM STAND AND SIGN UP FOR A SPACE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE AS A FIBER ARTIST OR A CRAFTER.

PART OF LEARNING TO LIVE MORE LOCALLY INVOLVES NOT ONLY FOOD PRODUCTION BUT ALSO PRODUCTION OF OTHER ITEMS USED IN OUR DAILY LIVES

NATURAL FIBER WAS THE ONLY SOURCE OF CLOTH FOR CENTURIES. WOOL/HAIR WAS THE MAJOR TYPE OF FIBER USED. COME AND SEE HOW FIBER SPECIALISTS FROM OUR OWN COMMUNITY SPIN, FELT, WEAVE AND HOOK FIBER. MEET THESE PEOPLE AND ASK THEM TO SHOW YOU HOW IT IS DONE.

BEFORE THE ADVENT OF FACTORIES AND BIG MACHINES EVERYTHING WAS MADE BY HAND. NOW WE CALL IT CRAFTS, BUT INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTIVITY USED TO BE ESSENTIAL TO COMMUNITIES. SEE WHAT OUR CRAFTERS ARE MAKING AND FIND A LOVELY HANDMADE ITEM TO TAKE HOME.
