Today we will spend the day in Bath: no bus. We will meet at Halcyon Yarn in the morning for a special treat.
Susie Stephenson, primitive folk artist (whose medium is rug hooking) and author
of the book "Designing and Hooking Primitive Rugs" will lead a 'make it and take it' class on hooked flower brooches.
All materials will be included for the class and you will most likely complete one brooch and start at least one more.
Susie is a true traditional primitive rug hooker who will recycle anything and try it in her hooking.
Her charming rugs are fun, colorful, whimsical and lasting. Her work includes nautical, maritime, sea, pet, and kid themes.
She has designed several pieces based on family pets and her kids' drawings. She has a fun loving spirit and she
will encourage you to try different materials in your hooked masterpieces.

Lunch 'on your own in beautiful downtown Bath.

In the afternoon you will be free to explore Bath taking in some of the local galleries and
shops including Markings Gallery where several of the fiber artists will be present to visit with you and answer questions about their work.
ALSO, back at Halcyon Yarn, several fiber artists from all over Maine will bring their work to show and tell and sell.
They will set up in Halcyon Yarn's large upstairs classroom for a fun fiber afternoon. (This was a way we could introduce
you to many more fiber artists than time would allow to visit in their home studios).
