It’s May Day and almost time for our Waldorf School’s annual May Faire! I am busily crafting away, working with wool, roots, moss and sticks to create things to sell in my Mountain Hearth Handcrafts booth. I recently finished a needlefelted wool wall hanging of a maypole dance in honor of the occasion.
It is similar to one I made a few years ago, but I am pleased to see how the unique character emerged as I worked on it.
With the rich arts education at our school, it makes sense that we have a
group of creative parents who value this enough to send their children
here. As a result, there are a lot of talented artists and handcrafters
in the community. Not only will I be there with Mountain Hearth Handcrafts, but my dear friends Jeff, Taryn and Bracken will be there with Mystic Orb and Wooly Moss Roots, a new local clothing business called Belle Weather will have a booth, our handwork teachers will have their handiwork with Woolcrazy and Golden Needle Creations, and a handful of other talented folks including an herbalist and a painter with cards of her prints. I’m looking forward to a day of maypole dancing, live music, time with friends and sharing art.
