Western New York Fiber Arts Festival

Western New York Fiber Arts Festival The WNY Fiber Arts Festival is a not-for-profit event to promote & preserve fiber arts education. The Festival also showcases local guilds.

WNY Fiber Arts Festival is an annual gathering of artisans, crofters and Indie companies that have a common love of natural, hand-made products from their own animals or from fibers grown and processed by others. There are also many other products such as, soaps, lotions, purses, wood products, honey, candles, etc. Their members demonstrate how these items are made. Wool producers, processors, spi

nners, knitters, lace-makers, weavers, embroiderers show up and educate. Our hope is to bring to the wider community a snapshot of the wonderful world of fiber.

We are just days away from the 2025 WNY Fiber Arts Festival, and while you are packing your project bags, don't forget your donations!

Supporting our community is a big part of our mission at the WNY Fiber Arts Festival. For this year's community outreach project we have selected Harvest House Buffalo.

Harvest House Buffalo has specifically requested children's cold weather items. We will be collecting donations of children's hats, scarves, gloves, mittens and socks at our event on September 13th.

Items must be new & unworn. They may be store bought or handmade as long as they are made using washable materials such as acrylic or superwash wools. You will receive a raffle ticket for each donated item!

You can also donate directly by entering our Swag Bag raffle for a chance to win one of the many fabulous prizes from our amazing vendors.

"Harvest House is a movement, co-creating resources with dynamic communities for transformational change, enhancing individual and community wellness and establishing a foundation for economic stability and community connectedness.
At Harvest House, we work with the greater Buffalo community to build and facilitate person-centered solutions that have a positive impact on health, well-being and quality of life, addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) to build access to healthcare, housing, education and economic stability."

Meet the vendor - Pinnacle Pottery-Pamela Delyannis

Pamela Delyannis creates handmade stoneware pottery for the home. Her specialty is kitchen and tableware. This veteran potter starts by making classical shapes and finishes them with a variety of glazes and surface designs. Many pieces are hand painted with overgraze brush designs that are inspired by nature. Other pieces are finished with colorful glazes that are layered and blended to create unique patterns.
Each piece is an individual work of functional art. Her pottery is intended for everyday use but also can step up for use on special occasions. It is her goal to create attractive pieces that her customers will cherish and use for many years.
