Straw Into Gold
Other events of note this weekend : Down in Southern Humboldt on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7, fiber enthusiasts gather for the 17th Annual Natural Fiber Fair at the Mateel Community Center in Redway. This art festival features workshops, demonstrations and exhibits of spinning, knitting, weaving and dyeing, plus vendors selling fleeces, fibers, yarns and tools. “Come home with enough supplies, knowledge, and inspiration to last until next year!” say Fair producers. That’s where I’m going to be.
If you’re interest is more woodish than fiberish, you can check out one of Sandy Dardenelle’s free seminars on “The Art of Intarsia” at Almquist Lumber Company (5301 Boyd Rd., Arcata) Saturday, Oct. 6, at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sandy is the wood inlay artist who was exhibiting at Almquist’s gallery when I went to check it out a few weeks ago. Little did she know at the time that she’d soon be teaching the craft. For more information contact Almquist Lumber at 825-8880.
