With more than 70 vendors, the Fibrations Festival extended from the lawn outside Fernwood Community Centre to its gymnasium. “Hats by Tracy J” was indoors, alongside a dozen fibre artists. We had a steady flow of shoppers, especially in the morning.
Many shoppers were strategic. They would begin with a preliminary circle of the entire venue to get a sense of what was offered. Then they would loop back to the tables that interested them.
Each of the vendors donated something of their making for a raffle. These donated prizes were displayed under a big tent. They showed the wide variety of fibre artistry at the festival, including the hand-dyed, spun, woven, silk-screened, sewn, knitted and crocheted.
I enjoyed meeting and talking with like-minded people. Both vendors and customers shared an appreciation of fine quality raw materials and unique handcrafted goods.
