Wagbo Farm and Education Center Fiber Arts Classroom

A recent Arts & Culture grant from C3F, combined with other grants, has helped transform the dilapidated workshop area with a rotting sill, wet foundation, and non-insulated, unheated space into a dry, fresh, renovated space with the capacity to hold classes comfortably year-round and to store quality materials such as raw wool and yarns and many looms! The looms have been in storage waiting for a forever home since the closure of the fiber arts department at North Central Michigan College. With the new usable space, Wagbo now has the ability to increase the arts and culture assets of the East Jordan and Charlevoix area communities by offering fiber arts workshops and community programming.
