In 2023, Belfast fiber artist Jane McLean created an exhibit of twenty 12-inch panels, "Circles of My Life: A Fiber Art Celebration of My First 75 Years." In this workshop, attendees will view several of these richly-embellished panels. They will learn about Jane's process of telling a personal story through textiles in traditional patterns. Then they will create a framed 8"x8" wall hanging based on the Folded Star pattern. All materials will be provided, and no sewing is required. The full exhibit can be seen at Jane's website, http://www.pinchpennythreads.com/

Land Acknowledgement

We want to respectfully acknowledge and honor the Wabanaki Confederacy—specifically the Abenaki, Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Nations—who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. We recognize that we are on their ancestral, traditional, and unceded homelands. We affirm their inherent tribal sovereignty, pay respect to elders past and present, and commit to the ongoing work of truth-telling and decolonization in Maine and beyond.
