It does not take an investigative journalist to discover that all manor of wares can be found at major music festivals, but Patchwork Progress did defy the typical. In this video, Callan Schanz, explains that Patchwork Progress is a collective of teachers and family in Peru that produce selections where "every stitch is sacred", and "every piece has a story." Schanz also said he enjoys the family friendly atmosphere and sense of community at Black Bear Music Fest and contrasts it to other events that can sometimes feel "like one wild party". He was quick to add that thats OK too.
