Drop into the Old Art Building in Leland the weekend of October 9-10 for an interactive exhibit sharing the art of handspinning, weaving and basketmaking. Artists for the 20th annual Focus on Fiber event include Sue Ann Carpenter, Nancy Doughty, Linda Good, Catherine Siterlet and Christie Trout. The event is free to the public from 10am to 4pm both Saturday and Sunday.
Visitors are invited to interact with and learn from the artists about shearing sheep and processing, dying and spinning wool into yarn.
