The next Montpelier Art Walk is coming up on June 7, from 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. This event is a great way to get a taste of the local art scene in our sweet city.

Artisans Hand will feature Montpelier fiber artist Gail Carrigan. She’ll show her needle-felted sculptures and demonstrate her creative process.

Gail is constantly inspired by the challenge of capturing the essence of her subjects in wool. Each sculpture is a labor of love, requiring hours of meticulous work to sculpt and shape the materials into lifelike forms.

Living in Vermont, being surrounded by so much natural beauty, has had an enormous influence on her subject matter and choice of medium. Her work reflects her environment, including her wildlife sculptures with a specific focus on the parent/child connection, which represents to her the now and the future. It expresses her hope and appreciation for maintaining open spaces and natural, wild environments.

We’ll have guide books closer to the event.
