The “West Coast of Maine” is home to fiber artists of every description. Nestled among the small towns, back roads and tall pines we draw inspiration from the mountain air and lakes and streams this area has in abundance. We’d like to share with you this scenic beauty and our love of fiber arts.

Toward this end we invite you to join us in June for a weekend of fiber workshops before the bustle of summer activities takes you in other directions. Come enjoy the beauty of the Lakes Region while you learn new techniques and make new friendships. Workshops are varied and class size is small enabling you to immerse yourself in fiber pursuits each day under the guidance of knowledgeable instructors. There will be an exhibit of instructors’ work and ample opportunity to see what other students are doing during breaks.

We hope you will come for the whole weekend.  Take one workshop each day or come for one workshop and some rest and relaxation in a lovely setting. Bring your fiber friends. We have included some recommendations for lodging and meals. Snacks and beverages will be provided - lunches are “brown bag” from home or local providers.

The Denmark Arts Center, a former Odd Fellows hall built in 1884,  host to many activities over the years ranging from musical performances, plays, dances, movies, exhibitions and the annual Sheepfest, is in the center of the community and only a short walk to the town beach at Moose Pond. While the town is small the roads lead you to wide open vistas of Pleasant Mountain, Chocorua and the White Mountains beyond. Denmark is one hour west of Portland and only one half hour from North Conway in New Hampshire.
