Octagon Arts Festival
Bonnie Ohr is a fabric artist who will be at booth 60 at the Octagon Arts Festival on Sunday September 26 2021. Ohr makes rugs, yarns and artworks using wool from her own and her family's farm, Faircloth Farms. In this interview, she describes how each artwork comes from an animal they raise and love, some who are endangered species, and how she weaves, spins, makes art and teaches others crafts and art made with wool.
The 50th annual Octagon Arts Festival will occur Sunday, September 26 from 10 AM to 4 PM. This major art festival includes more than 80 artists and craftspeople, food trucks, music, entertainment and "Chalk the Block" contest sponsored by the Ames Arts Commission.
