At HRM on 4 June, we will have a tent devoted to fiber arts demos and displays, with lots of artists who've said they demo. Lady Brienna will also demo spinning flax!
 
We'll have another tent devoted to classes. 
 
Here is an excel version of the class schedule with times and locations, but below is a clear listing of the classes:
