A full Program Schedule brought back Full Moon Feasts and Stitch & Such Sundays
A new Fiber Arts & Culture classroom space was developed by renovating an old garage. But before the building could be fixed, stornmwater run-off was redirected and infiltrated with funding help from a Paddle Antrim Ripple Effect mini-grant. Repairs and renovations to the building were completed this fall due to generous grant funds from the Charlevoix County Community Foundation, the Great Lakes Energy People Fund, Antrim Womens Alliance, Tipp of the Mitt Fiber Fair and other anonymous donors.

Events were a hit with young folks and young at heart. As a result of program funding from the Charlevoix County Community Foundation, Wagbo offered a full schedule of programs twice per month including Stitch & Such creative circles and Full Moon Feast potlucks with a topic of interest. Many new people became friends of Wagbo. New and old visions for the future of Wagbo were conjured with the inspiration, positive energy and strength in community that bubbled up during these wonderful events.

A sculpture, “The Young Boy and the Stream”, created by the late Martha Sulfridge of Boyne City, brings to life a Hemingway not often seen–––the young boy, sturdy and resolute, who came of age here in our northern lower Michigan. Her sculpture is a masterpiece of movement and expression envisioning young Ernie battling an enormous fish and is on par with the renown works of Ernest Hemingway himself. This life size bronze was gifted to the community and will reside in a newly created garden at the Bay Township Hall in Horton Bay ofering a space for contemplation and education, now and long into the future.
Register for Wax Batik Indigo Workshop
A space to explore motifs on fabric using traditional Indonesian copper tjaps and learn the process of batik. In this class, we will utilize natural soy and/or beeswax to create resisted areas on fabric with the tjap stamps and a fructose-based indigo vat for dye. We will discuss surface design, how to create your own indigo vat, and the culture of batik. We will remove the wax in class so that you can leave with a ready-to-use piece of art on fabric.
