Valley Fiber Arts Guild Annual November Sale
Contributed by Julia Lenz
The Valley Fiber Arts Guild (VFAG) presents its annual “Out of the Box” sale Saturday November 23rd at the Palmer Train Depot from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
For over 20 years the VFAG has welcomed the public to this one-day sale featuring all hand-crafted items made by members of the guild. Year after year many people return to purchase the quality handcrafted gifts and holiday items offered.
The fiber arts encompass a great variety of talents and techniques. These include mastering the skills of handweaving textiles, knitting, crocheting, needle felting, wet felting, dyeing, basketry and sewing. Many of these artists extend their arts into other areas such as glass work, pottery, and woodwork.
There is no admission fee. There will be 20 booths of quality handcrafted items for the home, body, and soul. The VFAG invites you to come see the work of these artisans. There will be beautiful handspun and dyed yarns; household items (rugs, towels, blankets, placemats, etc.); clothing (scarves, hats, mittens, socks, sweaters, etc.); jewelry; children’s toys; small gifts and holiday décor; pottery; woodwork, and more…
This sale was originally started not only as a way for members to sell the abundance of items they have made; but also, as a way to showcase the diversity of fiber arts, promote our mission of community outreach and education, and to keep our craft alive.
Valley Fiber Arts Guild sale welcomes you on Saturday November 23, at the Palmer Train Depot 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
