Our Midsummer Faire is a come-and-go art and fiber event, with activities for all ages, vendors, demonstrations and PIE! Try your hand at various weaving, dyeing, felting and other projects, watch some demonstrations and do a little shopping, stroll through the gallery exhibit, and then sit down to enjoy (or take home) your choice of home-baked pie by the slice.

SCHEDULE

Outdoor activities, 10 am – 1 pm

  • Indigo dyeing (bring your own fiber or fabric, or purchase fat quarters)
  • Ice dyeing (red, white & blue cotton gauze scarf )
  • Sock dyeing (adult or child size socks included in the price)
  • Cup cake dyeing (ball of yarn dyed in a cup)
  • Add your touches to the “Rainbow Dot” felted rug

The rug felting (with a riding lawn mower – you’ve got to see this!) will begin at 2 pm, but if you come earlier, you can add your own colorful element to the design. We’ll have a silent auction for the finished rug, so one lucky person will take it home after it’s dry and ready to go.

Indoor activities, 10 am – 3 pm

  • Branch weaving (pictured below)
  • Crochet class (11 am – 1 pm)
  • Make and take projects: God’s Eye, Ladybug Bookmark, Wizarding Wand, Walking Stick

  • Gallery exhibit
  • Silent auction
  • Spinning, bobbin lace, rug hooking and other demonstrations

Hands-on activities are geared for a wide age range,
and no previous experience is needed!

Spring!

When you’re a fiber artist who works with wool, March always comes in like a lamb AND goes out like a lamb! Indoors, anyway…
