Flock Fiber Festival, creating a fiber arts festival that's focused on the small businesses & not a big corporation + how Making is bringing a little Flock to you! w/ Jessica Povenmire & Jen Joyce

Jen sits down with the absolutely wonderful human, owner of La Mercerie, and organizer of the Flock Fiber Festival, Jessica Povenmire. They chat about opening a yarn shop, where La Mercerie started, and where it's going next. They then dive into all things Flock Fiber Festival: why Jessica decided to bring us this beautiful weekend, some things she's learned about creating a fibers arts festival, and how Making is partnering to bring a little Flock Fiber Festival to you!
