2023 Mary Olson Farm Artist in Residence

Since we are adding weaving looms to our inventory (and soon there will be weaving workshops!!!) I'm pretty sure I just have weaving on the brain. But, today I opened the latest issue of the Auburn Magazine and was so excited to read about Allyce Wood who is the 2023 Mary Olson Farm Artist in Residence. You can read the whole article HERE

I really wanted to share that there will be some fun open studio days, as well as a free community workshop!!!
