Stop #1 Lavender Farm

My name is Bonnie Moore and I am a Lavender Farmer.

After over 20 years in Millbrook, ON, we found a lovely old home on 94 acres and after a year on this beautiful land, we discovered the soil in the fields was a perfect combination for growing lavender. I wasn't a previous grower of anything, after installing 650 plants our first year we learned what species liked what area of our field. We are over 800 plants and 6 varieties of lavender at this time. We host cooking workshops, crafting workshops, small gatherings, flower arranging, corporate picnics, birthday parties and so much more! We will be having our grand opening July 8th/23 from 1-7 pm and we would love to meet all of our neighbors and new found business friends!

Eco printing in the Barn

Marta Mouka is a textile artist who creates collages using a unique approach to needle felting. She works with woven silk, often contact-printed with plant material, to make finished textiles with a smooth texture and soft-focus colour transitions.

Marta studied graphic design and visual arts at the College of Applied Arts in Brno, Czech Republic. She ran a graphic design studio in Toronto for 14 years, specializing in magazine art direction. Her extensive graphic design experience brings a strong sense of composition to her work.

She has held solo shows and participated in juried group exhibitions, and she has received a number of awards. Her art is held in private collections across Canada.

Stop #5

Mother Earth Studios

Hilary Rice is a weaver, spinner, dyer, stitcher, as well as a potter...

"When I was young, I dreamed of being able to make everything I would need... not as a career, but in my free time. Several decades before there was such a thing as "The Slow Movement", I made things at a snail's pace - everything I made took a long time.

Now, after a lifetime of learning, I am delighted to spend my days creating beautiful things and sharing the results.
I take pride in my work and I strive for excellence.

I currently have three looms that I weave on regularly: My 'house loom' is a 36" Schacht 8-shaft Mighty Wolf. I have recently added a 63" 12-shaft Glimakra countermarch loom & an 8-shaft 22" Macomber loom to my studio.

My sewing machine is an Elna 7200 and I use a wide variety of thread brands, including Madeira & Canadian-made Wonderfil.

My preference is always to make something 'from scratch'... so rather than use commercially produced fabric, I will dye or paint a natural cotton, linen or silk. I enjoy the entire process of washing a sheep's fleece, carding the clean wool & then spinning it into yarn which I can dye any colour I choose. I have over 2 decades of experience colouring fibre.

I was very fortunate to be gifted many of the items needed for a pottery studio! And so more recently, I have returned to a much earlier love - throwing my own pots. So once again, starting with the most basic ingredient: clay.

The resulting pieces I make are truly unique!
