Semi-Local Fibre Events

Spring can’t be far away…..despite what the weather is telling us! Just look at the number of upcoming fibre-y events in our general area:

April 5:  Opening of Wanda Elliot’s display of rugs at These 4 Walls in Trenton is on April 5.  Originally from Newfoundland, Wanda is a member of the Campbellford Rug Hookers.  Here’s a link with a few more details.

April 6-28:  A Textile Sampler, from Gather In The County. This looks to be an interesting display of all things textile, with artist talks and demonstrations each Sunday.  Full info can be found here.

April 13:  The Peterborough Hand Weavers and Spinners are hosting a fibre event in Peterborough.  It promises to have lots of opportunities for shopping (20+ vendors!) and ogling wondrous creations!  Carol Shewan will even be there!  Details here and on facebook.

Until April 27:  And don’t forget Laura Kenney’s show at the Art Gallery of Northumberland - all things JUDY!

June 15:  Gather in the County is a new annual market, taking place at the historic Crystal Palace in Picton, Ontario.  Gather will feature an indoor/outdoor market providing our visitors with an exciting and innovative gathering of textile makers, small batch producers, indie dyers, artists, collectors and community guilds producing a wide range of handmade textile wares + supplies.   More info can be found here!
