Last year we host featured artist Debbie Johnson. Debbie is an experienced basket weaver who specializes in weaving with natural materials that she enjoys collecting herself.
She shares: “The really motivating factor for me is the process of harvesting natural material, repurposing it, and making things out of seemingly nothing. It’s like bringing nature in and reinventing it. I don’t walk in the woods and just see a tree. Now I go for a walk in the woods and see weaving materials.”
Want to help make the fun happen? The Festival is looking for volunteers. If you know how to sew, knit, crochet, needle felt, or even just tie a knot we need you! We are always in need of demonstrators to help with the hands-on activities, and with a range of difficulties in the activities anyone can help out, and we will even teach you how.
Don’t want to demonstrate? We also need help with behind the scenes coordination, greeting attendees, taking pictures, and other general tasks.
Volunteer for as little as an hour or two and be part of our community of wonderful fiber enthusiasts!
