5th Grade Weaving and Visiting Artist Sarah Haskell!

The 5th graders at Dyer and I were very fortunate to have a visit from Artist Sarah Haskell last Wednesday. Thank you so much to the Dyer PTA for making this visit possible :)

Sarah Haskell is a professional weaver and arts educator who lives in Southern Maine. She talked to the 5th graders about the history and importance of weaving, showed them some of her own artwork, and demonstrated some different weaving techniques that the students have been excited to try out.
