Weaving at the Brinton

The Creative Fiber Guild will host an adult and a children’s workshop at the Brinton Museum. 

The adult class, Beginning Rigid Heddle, will be instructed by Deb Essen on May 1 and 2. 

Two children’s weaving workshops, paper weaving and mini-tapestry weaving on a cardboard loom will be taught by Ann Arndt of Sheridan. 

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Sheridan Creative Fiber Guild member Sherry Buck told listeners a little about the children’s classes. 

Registration is required for both the adult and children’s workshops. For more information and how to register for a workshop, contact Donna Stubbs at The Fiber House at 307-673-0383.

The classes are in conjunction with the Brinton exhibit, “Small Expressions”. This is an annual juried exhibition showcasing 31 contemporary small-scale, mixed-media works using different fiber or textile techniques in a variety of media. According to the Brinton Museum, this exhibit is originated by the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. and speaks to the artistic expression found in the intimacy of design in works that are “small” in scale. The artists in this show incorporate both traditional and nontraditional materials while also expressing the limitations imposed in creating small-scale works. “Small Expressions” opened in the S. K. Johnston, Jr. Family Gallery on March 13, and will continue through May 9, 2021.
