Come help us celebrate the longest day of the year with art and fun (and pie, while it lasts)! There will be free activities as well as the take-home projects that you won’t find anywhere else. This event puts the summer FUN in fundraising for the Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild! All proceeds directly support the Guild and its fiber education activities.
Come and go any time between 2 – 8 pm on Friday, June 20, 2025 to…
- See artworks in fiber and other media in the gallery exhibit (opening reception from 6 – 8 pm) and at outdoor booths
- Enjoy a slice of home-baked pie ($5) – and bring your own picnic if you like
- Browse the sale table for yarn, frame looms and more
- Bid on items donated to the silent auction
- Watch or help with wet felting a wool rug, then bid on the finished item in the silent auction
- Visit the Guild’s weaving studio to see works in progress
- Watch a demonstration of the ice dyeing process at 2 pm
- Dye your own fiber, yarn or fabric (or purchase fabric while supplies last) in an indigo vat, and watch the magic before your very eyes ($10/item) starting at 2 pm
- Create a small weaving project using a branch as your loom ($10) from 3 – 5 pm
- Dye your own bamboo socks ($15 per pair) from 4 – 6 pm
- Join in, or watch as spinners turn fiber into unique yarns, or try your hand at spindle spinning (5 – 7 pm)
- Bring your own project and just enjoy spending time with us under the large shade trees!
