Event summary

Highlights

  • Free craft marketplace featuring diverse handmade goods
  • Hands-on activities led by the North Olympic Shuttle and Spindle Guild
  • Artisan demonstrations in spindle spinning, weaving, and rug hooking
  • All-ages make-and-take projects and needle felting sessions
Hosted at the Vern Burton Community Center, the expo provides an immersive environment for exploring various fiber-based crafts. Attendees can observe specialized demonstrations throughout the weekend, with sessions typically divided into morning and afternoon blocks. The event is designed to promote the appreciation and continuation of fiber arts within the local community.

A central feature of the expo is the public marketplace, which offers free admission and showcases a variety of handmade goods on Friday and Saturday. This market provides an opportunity for visitors to interact directly with makers and purchase unique craft items and supplies.

Educational engagement is a priority, particularly on Saturday when the North Olympic Shuttle and Spindle Guild sponsors hands-on activities for all ages. Participants can try their hand at wheel spinning, rug hooking, and weaving, or participate in make-and-take projects. These activities, along with needle felting workshops, ensure that the expo serves both experienced crafters and those new to the medium.
