Hill-Stead Museum is planning to host "The Art of Shearing: A Sheep to Shawl Festival" on Sunday, March 27 from 10am to 4pm. They will welcome fiber artists and exhibitors for a full day of family fun, exploring how natural fibers are collected, spun and created into usable goods! The day's activities will include:

  • Sheep shearing in the Hill-Stead barn with Clatter Ridge Farm
  • Skirting, carding, spinning, weaving, knitting, crocheting  and felting demonstrations
  • Food, craft beer, hayrides, and more!

Hill-Stead will remain flexible in planning for a successful event, but will follow the CDC, State of Connecticut and Town of Farmington recommendations closely and make alterations as necessary and in a timely way. Their goal is to partner with a manageable number of exhibitors to coincide with fiber demonstrations.

If you are interested in demonstrating, please register by February 15.
