Dream Weaver at WAM
Several Guild members were able to accept the invitation from Mat Buckingham, Curator of Education at the Wichita Art Museum, to participate in their Dream Weaver event on Saturday, January 22, 2022.
Featured guests (besides ourselves) were alpacas from the nearby Flatland Ranch! Obviously, they were a big draw for kids and adults alike, but they were outdoors, and we were inside.
Guild members had several tables of displays with information about upcoming classes, and also demonstrated fiber techniques from 11 am – 3 pm. Visitors strolling through the area could stop to see weaving on three different types of looms, needle felting and spinning, plus fiber art and products made with many other techniques.
We met lots of interested (and interesting!) people, and especially loved talking with the kids, who had some great questions. It was a wonderful day in a beautiful venue, and we appreciated the opportunity to participate!
And we owe a special thanks to Belinda Kidd for all the photos!
