The Saco Valley Fiber Artists would like to invite you to participate in a textile arts SUMMER WORKSHOP with 17 different classes,on Friday, July 19, 2013 and Saturday, July 20, 2013 from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at Shearbrooke Farm, 400 Saco Road in Standish, Maine.

Learn to work with wool fiber and create beautiful colors through hand dyeing with natural materials. Instruction and practice will be relaxed and informal, and a light gourmet luncheon will be provided. Treat yourself (and a lucky friend !) to a day of textile arts. NO prior experience needed. This year we have 17 different classes, with several new ones.

A portion of our proceeds go to the Guatemala Education Fund, in support of the children of Maya weavers and crafts people.

Shearbrooke Farm is a working farm with 80 acres of meadows, woods and pasture. We have llamas, rabbits, chickens, ducks, one dog, a cat, and lots of sheep. We are located on Saco Road, which is an extension of Rt. 22, 1 1/5 miles going north from Bonny Eagle High School.

Please join us for a creative summer day at Shearbrooke Farm! Rain or Shine...
