After the success and popularity of this workshop in 2025 and while we wait for our flax fields to grow, join us again for a summer of indigo exploration in July, we are proud to welcome back
“For me, flax is a plant that’s artistically compelling because there are so many effective doors into an investigation of the material.”
– Pamela Wilson
We are delighted to welcome back Pamela Wilson for 2026 artist in residence for the East Barnard Linen Fair.
Pamela Wilson is a studio artist, ceramicist and weaver, working out of a community art center in Barre City’s historic downtown.
Her three workshops in July 14, 15th and 18th will explore the pairing of flax and indigo in the indigo fructose vat. Taught from our store in South Royalton, Vermont, artists will learn how to integrate indigo into their own fiber practice and create work for a group art show hosted by Green Mountain Linen in 2026. We’ll explore multiple ways of working with indigo on linen fabric, yarn and paper, as well as growing indigo for the creation of uniquely place-based artworks.
