TAMMACHAT Natural Textiles' FIBRE FEST
10 am - 4 pm, free slideshow/talk at 2 pm

Join us for our first show in Annapolis Royal at ARTsPLACE, an artist-run space. Fairly traded, handwoven, eco-friendly textiles -- silk and cotton scarves, meditation shawls, bags, "slow cloth" for your tables and more.

FIBRE FEST is a free one-day event where you can learn about the artistic weaving and natural dyeing traditions of women in rural Thailand and Laos. At 2 pm, join the slideshow/talk and go on a visual tour to meet these artisans with TAMMACHAT co-founder Alleson Kase as she introduces them to you through co-founder Ellen Agger's stunning photographs. Learn how village-based sericulture is still practiced to produce traditional, organic silk yarns. Talk about fair trade and community development half a globe away. All day, explore an exhibition of handwoven, eco-friendly fashion accessories, home décor, clothing and fabric. Go "ethical shopping" to support these fast-disappearing artisanal traditions.

Culture DaysTAMMACHAT Natural Textiles is proud to participate in Culture Days, a free national grassroots arts and culture event that is being celebrated in every province and territory in Canada this September.
