SUMMARY:CULTURE CLUB HAPPY HOUR: FOLLOW THE THREAD - SHEAR
DESCRIPTION:Free & open to the public \n \nEach month\, guest artists walk us through a different step of the weaving process with live demos\, from fleece to masterpiece. This month’s topic: Shear. Artist Vera Videnovich of Videnovich Farms joins KAC to share insights and hands-on conversation about the very beginning of the weaving process – wool! \nVidenovich Farms produces seasonal farm products from their small family farm in southwest Michigan that includes over 150 field-grown vegetable varieties in the summer and wool products made from their sheep flock in the winter. The 25-acre farm was founded in 1962 by Vera’s father Bozin Videnovich who brought with him generations of farming techniques and experience from Eastern Serbia with a focus on growing peppers for the Chicago Serbian immigrant community. After his death in 1992 three of his five children continued running the farm.  \nAlso an artist\, Vera creates hand-spun yarn and knitwear produced from the wool of their small flock of sheep. \n
