Common Ground 811 - Fiber Arts Tour

Tag along as we tour a few stops on the 2016 Pine to Prairie Fiber Arts Studio Tour.
In this episode, we start at Fosston, Minnesota’s Northern Woolen mills, and stop at several of the artists’ studios along the way including those who create beauty with fibers, be it traditional needle-and-thread, warm wool blankets on a hand loom, or beautifully functional rattan baskets. 2017’s Pine to Prairie Fiber Arts Studio Tour happens this April 21st & 22nd.

Love the wooden mill. What dedication. I’m so glad it’s successful. She deserves it. 👏👏👏

This medium tells how civilization was born and raised. The ambiance is halfway to heaven.

What an interesting programme. Here in the UK we have something called Open Studios which is similar to this. Artists open their studios for two weeks in early summer so the public can visit and see crafted items on display, sometimes being made too. It is very interesting to talk to all the artisans about their work. One year I visited about twenty studios and even eventually attended pottery lessons as a result. It is a lovely way to learn about people who are creative too. They are always so forthcoming with information and extremely encouraging if you need guidance about learning a new skill. Thank you for uploading this video.
