Artist in Residence

On many weeks during the summer, Fiber College of Maine sponsors  a resident artist who stays at the campground and runs a program, demonstration or project each day for our guests~ either at a low cost or for free.  Keeping with our mission of facilitating family vacations, these daily activities will be attractive to both children and adults and generally focused on families learning and playing together.

This is your opportunity to explore weaving, carving, photography, nature crafts and a variety of other interesting passions.

As we fill in the schedule, we will freshen this post with the details.  If you’d like to be considered for an artist in residence retreat, click here for the letter to artists.
