In conjunction with our summer community exhibition, "A Conceptual Thread," the Museum is hosting a mini artist-in-residence program with fiber artist Doris Florig, an artist featured in the exhibit. During the residency, Florig will demonstrate tapestry weaving and speak with visitors about her methods and materials. The residency will take place Monday, July 7, through Friday, July 11, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Sullivan Hall. Each day, Florig will weave her tapestry inspired by the Absaroka Mountain Range, while inviting visitors to ask questions. Her program will be inclusive of all ages and is free to visitors with an admission ticket or Museum membership.

There will also be an opportunity for visitors to contribute to Florig’s “Mother Tree” project. The “Mother Tree” is a collaborative, ongoing project of people working together, engaging in fiber arts while learning to protect and care for forests. Visitors are encouraged to engage in tactile experiences such as weaving, needle felting, spinning, and poetry to contribute to the “Mother Tree.” During her residency at the Museum, visitors will create a panel of the tree trunk that will eventually be stitched to other trunk panels to create the large cohesive “tree” relief sculpture.

The Wool Evaluation Workshop is tailored for adult participants, specifically educators and volunteers wanting to start wool judging/evaluation programs, and/or serving as a judge at a wool show. The workshop emphasizes a blend of theory and hands-on practice to enhance participants' grasp of the key characteristics determining wool quality. Workshop leader Bryce McKenzie has collegiate experience evaluating wool and was the University of Wyoming Wool Judging Assistant Coach from 2018-2019.

Engaging activities, including grading wool, evaluating clean fleece yield, assessing staple length/strength, and employing comparative placing techniques, form a significant part of the program. Real-world examples from fleeces sourced statewide will be utilized for practical learning.
