What is a tempestry?
It is knitted fiber art that visualizes and communicates climate change data, inspired by The Tempestry Project. Together, knitters in Addison County are going to knit 100 years of average temperatures, which will be on exhibit at the Museum in May 2026.
Why are we doing a tempestry project?
The art work is a tangible, beautiful and relatable way to understand long-term climate change data. Plus, knitting is fun!
Do I need my own supplies?
Local wool (dyed to correspond to your assigned year) and the pattern will be provided by the Museum. If you need knitting needles, we have those, too!
This sounds awesome. How do I get involved?
