we put together a fabulous, diverse, and dynamic market! The Fair is all about making people feel good about the work of their hands. You see, many of us learned our fiber art back when we were young. When you have been doing something since you were 7, or 8, or 10, it is easy to lose sight of its value. It becomes second nature when we spend a lifetime honing our skills. Conversely, those of us who come to fiber arts later in life tend to be self-conscious - we apologize for our work instead of taking delight in it. So, we have a Fiber Art Fine Art Show, Handbag Exhibit and a Marketplace that fuels our passion and delights our senses with both supplies and materials as well as finished goods. when: August 1-3, 2014 DOWNLOAD OUR MARKET VENDOR APPLICATION FOR 2014
