Sheep herding is an integral part of Arizona history, and indigenous communities have long-standing traditions of herding sheep and using their wool to create beautiful textiles. At the Flag Wool and Fiber Festival festival, held June 3-4 at the Pioneer Museum in Flagstaff (2340 N. Fort Valley Rd.) wool growers, artisans, and demonstrators come together to connect the history to the art through their textiles and fiber arts creations. The public is invited to attend educational demonstrations on both Saturday and Sunday.
