Past Events
Dunstable Artisans Fair
The Nashoba Valley Weavers' Guild was
honored to participate in the Dunstable Artisans Sale this October.
Nine of our members submitted items to this juried show. The Guild
also sold small felt ball kits for kids made from the roving that
was crockpot dyed at our Dye Day in September. As a Guild, we were
responsible for jurying the items submitted, setting up the exhibit,
working at the show, tearing down the booth after the show, and
keeping track of the inventory. Thanks to all of the Guild members
who helped out with this event.
Our Guild members sold a total of $756.50 at this show. Items sold
ranged in price from our fifty cent felt ball kits to a throw sized
blanket priced at $145.00. Other items that sold were scarves, bookmarks,
placemats, shawls and a rug. The Guild's commission on these items
was very close to being enough to cover the cost of our booth. As
sponsors, the Guild and the
Fiber Loft chippedp in for the difference. This was a great learning
experience forthe Guild, and notes for possible improvements were
made should another opportunity like this one arise.
A Good Day to Dye!
