Fiberfest, Saturday, April 25th 9a.m. - 4p.m.

We have another class for Fiberfest to fill, This is an Intro into Wet Felt taught by Lisa Nelson. This class will run 1 - 4 pm and you will go home with a beautiful scarf that you made!

Learn to make a lightweight, felted wool scarf using unspun merino wool fiber, soap and water, and the energy you bring! Wet felting is a physical activity; come prepared to stand, knead and further agitate your scarf to create a beautiful work of art you can wear!

We are so very grateful for you! Thank you for using your dollars to support small business this weekend! You have may it possible for artists to create and share their creations with you. So very thankful for Roosevelt High School Band students that helped make this a wonderful show! They moved me out so quickly I'm using a photo from last year! My car may be packed to the brim, but I made it home! I am at a loss for words for all the support that family and friends showed up this weekend! Many thanks to my partner, David. He made so many sandwiches!
