Mark Your Calendars for the Haystack Yard Sale

Deer Isle, Maine – Haystack Mountain School of Crafts invites the Island and Peninsula communities to a Yard Sale on Sunday, May 11 from 1–6 pm in the Gateway Building on campus (89 Haystack School Drive).

“We’re selling underutilized tools and equipment at affordable prices because we want them to be used and loved by our community of craftspeople,” says Studio Coordinator Mia Sartori. Some of the items available to purchase include filing cabinets, forming stakes, disc cutters, a metal chop saw, bench grinders, a belt sander, and more! Complimentary coffee and cookies will also be available.

All proceeds from the Yard Sale will support Haystack’s general operations. Sales are in-person only and are first-come, first-served. No advance sales, however, select large-scale tools will be available for sale on Facebook Marketplace this spring.

 

About Haystack Mountain School of Crafts | haystack-mtn.org

Haystack connects people through craft. Haystack provides the freedom to engage with materials and develop new ideas in a supportive and inclusive community. Serving an ever-changing group of makers and thinkers, we are dedicated to working and learning alongside one another, while exploring the intersections of craft, art, and design in broad and expansive ways. Founded in 1950 as a research and studio program in the arts, Haystack is an international craft school located on the Atlantic Ocean in Deer Isle, Maine, offering one and two-week studio workshops to participants of all skill levels as well as the two-week Open Studio Residency program, tours, auctions, artist presentations, and shorter workshops for Maine residents and high school students. The award-winning campus was designed by noted American architect, Edward Larrabee Barnes, and opened in 1961 when the School relocated to Deer Isle from its original location in Montville, Maine.
