Special Events
The Carolina Fiber Fest's mission is to educate the public about fiber and its sources, preserve heritage arts and crafts, promote small farms producing fiber and fiber animals, support fiber artists and fiber-related businesses and provide a venue for the public to interact with the fiber arts world.
"By demonstrating skills to the public, sharing knowledge, and through the close interaction of classes, Carolina FiberFest sows the seeds for future generations of fiber artists, crafts people and fiber producers." TWG volunteers regularly demonstrate weaving skills at Fiber Fest, and encourage visitors to try their hands using one or more of the TWG looms moved over to the Fairgrounds. Some of our members are exhibitors, and other members also participate in spinning demonstrations and sheep-to-shawl contests. |
