Pamela Blasko has been teaching fiber arts for more than 16 years. The love of fiber arts brought her to Spain on behalf of the Spanish government. She was able to spread her knowledge of felting and fiber arts to the Village of Benaulauria.
She lives on a small farm with her husband, Mike Blasko. The farm raises wool-producing animals so that Pam may create fun and whimsical handspun yarns and felted items.
When she spins her yarns, only the finest quality materials are used. Her favorite yarns to spin are art yarns with bold colors, usually big and bulky and full of character. She always creates from raw fiber from the farm that she processes by hand. Both wet felting techniques and needle felting techniques are used to create one of kind clothing items, boxes, rugs, and framed wall art.
Her fiber arts are sold on www.pamsfiber.Etsy.com, and in The Valley General Store, Seymour; Alpaca Hill Farm Shop, Seymour; and The Barn on Flanders Road, Woodbury.
Interested persons may call 203-218-0508 to schedule a visit to the Blaskos' farm, Dream Come True Farm.
The exhibit is in the meeting room at Oxford Town Hall, 486 Oxford Road, Oxford, and opened for viewing through March 29. The show may be viewed from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 7-9 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays when meeting room is not in use.
