“Fibershed Wool and Fine Fiber Symposium: Enhancing Diversity – The Ecology of Wool
Please join us for the Third Annual Fibershed Wool and Fine Fiber Symposium, November 15, from 10:00AM-4:00PM (and until 6:00PM in the Marketplace), at the Dance Palace at 503 B Street in Point Reyes Station, CA.
There will be informative presentations on breeding practices that build heirloom garments, plus predator- and pollinator-friendly practices that harmonize and blur the line between wild and domestic spaces, all bringing beauty and function to our fields and wardrobes.
Experts will be offering hands-on demonstrations (sheep shearing, skirting fleece, wool grading, angora rabbit shearing, cashmere fiber processing, felting, natural dyes).
And a host of amazing artisans and farmers will be selling their freshly farmed, locally grown and made creations and fibers. The Marketplace in the Church building will be open to the public at no charge.
There will also be displays of fibers from around the region and pollinator-friendly plants for enhancing diversity.”
