Maine Fiber Tour

River Roads Artisans Gallery is thrilled to be part of the the Maine Fiber Arts Tour. This coming weekend is the kickoff for the new Maine Fiberarts map that lists a ton of fiber artists studios and farms for the fiber enthusiast. The gallery has several members that are a part of the Maine Fiber Community. We will be highlighting them throughout the month. Come check them out if you are looking for something to do in the Skowhegan area.

The first is Heather Kerner of Canaan. Heather is known for her innovative felting and exquisite color sense. Hats, bags, mittens, chair coverings and two dimensional work all are functional as well as beautiful.
A regular participant at the Rhinebeck Sheep Festival and Grand Lake Stream Shows, Heather has also been included in the Interweave Press publication “How We Felt”. She will be offering 3 demonstartions throughout the weekend.

August 7th, Nuno Felting, a layered felting process (10am - 2pm)

August 8th, Fabulous Felt Hats (10am - 2pm)

August 9th, Beads, Bobbles and Balls (10am - 2pm)


Susan Blaisdell of Skowhegan Handwovens has a fabulous selection of beautiful jewel toned clothing. Rich in hues and a blend of silks, chenilles and other fibers has made Susan’s clothing highly sought after. Her tops move easily from day to casual evening wear. Comfort and classic style are what it is all about when wearing one of Susan's handwoven tops.

Please be sure to make River Roads Artisans Gallery a place to stop on your fiber explorations.

The Gallery is open Wednesday through Friday 10am – 5pm and on Saturdays from 10am-4pm.
