Bring your lunch, and join us for this informal gathering as we hear from Natasha Lehrer, founder of Esther’s Place, a fiber arts studio, located in Big Rock, Illinois. As Natasha describes, “By the time Illinois found itself in a war between the states, spinning wheels and looms were being replaced by machines and factories, industrializing these revered arts so common and known to the nation’s people.” Join us as Natasha offers us a glimpse of the past, while giving us a close up look at the community for fiber artists, educators and fiber producers that is alive and well at Esther’s Place today.
