Free Demonstrations


There are a number of free demonstrations throughout the two days of the festival. Some of the demos remain the same each year, as they are so fundamental to what we do as fiber artists. We also have a few new ones each year that we hope everyone will enjoy. Make sure to leave time to see as many as possible!
