Workshop Spotlight! Organic Gardening with Fiber Pellets

This is a workshop for fiber farmers and plant growers alike! Learn how waste fiber can transform a garden. Designed to educate fiber and vegetable growers about the value of waste wool as a sustainable, local solution to fertilization, water retention, and pest control. Participants will create organic soil and plant seeds to take home. With our heavily eroded Piedmont clay soils, the more organic material we can add, the better it will be for growing food!

Workshop Spotlight!

Join local fiber artist Jen Ingle of Forest Lined Farm and learn to craft a wool landscape painting through the art of needle felting. The price of the workshop includes 3 hours of instruction as well as a Sunset Over Mountains wool painting kit, complete with 2 felting needles, a foam felting pad, backing material, printed instructions, and wool roving. You will leave with a beautiful 5x7 wool painting that is ready for the frame of your choice.

All of the fiber you use in this class comes from Jen‘s small flock of sheep!

Wool painting is a delicate art and Jen does a wonderful job blending colors. If you’re into needle felting and have done lots of sculptural needle felting, think about giving wool painting a try.

Workshop Highlight!

Natural colors are gorgeous and healthy to wear, unlike some synthetic colors. In this class Dyeing From Your Kitchen: Come Play with Natural Dyes that come from your own kitchen or garden. It is amazing the beauty in the colors you can get, and the stories you will tell. Spend a day with Paula Vester learning how color can be created to brighten your world. All supplies are included in the class, and no previous experience is needed.
Don’t miss this opportunity to take a class with a legend! Follow the links in our Bio/About section for more info on how to sign up for her class at the Marigold Fiber Fest and to learn more about Paula and what she offers to the world through her website World In A Spin! .
A little about Paula -
Paula is a Handspinner who can demonstrate and talk about textiles to any age group in connection with a wide variety of subjects. She has a number of hands-on workshops that are adaptable to several age groups.

She moved to Georgia with her husband and two sons in 1979. After answering an ad in the Savannah paper for someone to “spin, weave, cook on a hearth, and plow with mule”, Paula was hired by the Board of Education as a Heritage Farm Interpreter. She learned to spin, weave and cook over an open fire pit, but as the mule never got the hang of pulling a plow, she never had to learn. She started demonstrating to the public while still at Oatland Island Education Center and found it to be gratifying.

In 1983 the family moved to Stone Mountain, GA. She discovered that she had been hooked and spinning was not something that she just did at work. She continued to demonstrate spinning, and to perfect her craft. In 1985 she was one of the founding members of the Peachtree Handspinners Guild.

She is listed in the 25th edition of Who’s Who in American Women and the 60th edition of Who’s Who in America.
