Animas Museum

A museum's job is not to just preserve artifacts, but also to preserve the process. Join our local spinners on Saturday, June 6th here at the Animas Museum starting around 10am. Bring your wheel, spindle, fiber project, and of course, show and tell. Or just come by to watch and learn.
