Those who love to wear, display, or collect handcrafted items will find plenty to enjoy, with vendors offering art pieces, clothing and home décor items perfect for holiday gifts.
Fiber artists, including knitters, crocheters, quilters, weavers and spinners will find a wide array of specialty supplies. Throughout the day there will be sheep-shearing and demonstrations of dying and spinning wool for all to enjoy. Free craft activities for children round out a full day of fun.
“This festival is a yearly destination for artisans and art lovers across Delmarva,” said Dr. Cindy Byrd,
the Purnell Museum’s executive director. “They look forward to greeting old friends and seeing wonderful new crafts each year.”
