The Pioneer Museum in Lander will host its annual, McDonald’s Children’s Exploration Series program, “Sheep Shearing Day” on April 23, 2016 from 1:00-3:00 pm.

This is a free day to explore the history of the sheep industry in Wind River Country. The event is open to the public and children of all ages are encouraged to attend. 

Kids can enjoy crafts, sheep wagon tours and sheep shearing.

Guild members will be inside the museum with displays and demonstrations on cleaning wool, spinning wool, and using wool to knit, weave, and crochet. 

Display Stand

Perhaps the Guild should make some of these simple stands to display shawls and scarves at the County Fair, the Fiber Fest, or at another exhibit, should we have one.

No directions are given on the website other than the drawing on the graph paper. The measurements given in the top left corner of the graph paper state it is 12.5 inches by 10 inches.

Back in Time - Art Center Exhibit

November 2010 the Fiber Guild Show was held at the Lander Art Center. Beverages and appetizers were available during the opening of the show, and a small combo provided music. A good-sized crowd mingled among the displayed items, admiring the variety of talents and reading the information provided by the artist.

Fort Washakie Exhibit

June 2015
Frank B. Wise Business Plaza

The month-long exhibit showcased examples of the Guild members' work in knitting, needle felting, sewing, twining, quilting, spinning, locker hooking, crochet.

It was an amazing display of the Guild members' talent. . .
