“For me, flax is a plant that’s artistically compelling because there are so many effective doors into an investigation of the material.”
– Pamela Wilson
We are delighted to welcome Pamela Wilson as a new addition for 2025 artist in residence for the East Barnard Linen Fair.
Pamela Wilson is a studio artist, ceramicist and weaver, working out of a community art center in Barre City’s historic downtown.
Her three workshops in August 2, 3 and 9th will explore the pairing of flax and indigo in the indigo fructose vat. Taught from our new storefront in South Royalton, Vermont, artists will learn how to integrate indigo into their own fiber practice and create work for a group art show hosted by Green Mountain Linen in 2025. We’ll explore multiple ways of working with indigo on linen fabric, yarn and paper, as well as growing indigo for the creation of uniquely place-based artworks.
Pamela is in her fourth year of flax spinning and third year of growing flax at a local community garden. She has documented this patch and its processing online through writing, photography and video and acts as a springboard for conversations about community, handwork, flax culture and soil-beneficial perspectives on art-making materials. Pamela’s flax art explores the visual juxtaposition of the fiber, plant and spun yarn, in addition to exploration of flax vessels. City’s historic downtown.
