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.
