Fibershed's Wool & Fine Fiber Symposium
What's growing in the backyard of the Bay Area? Are you a designer, artisan, young or novice farmer, looking to explore soil-to-skin practices? If so...mark you calendars for Fibershed's Wool & Fine Fiber Symposium.
For the first time, our community is coming together to learn the true nature of our local textile resource base...the quality, quantity, and land management practices will all be explored by an expert panel of our region's farmers and ranchers. Exhibits of local fibers, yarns and textiles will also be on display. Contact by e-mail for more information: fibershed@gmail.com or visit http://www.fibershed.com
Registration open: www.fibershed.com/event/wool-symposium
