Workshops & Classes


We offer workshops and classes in various fiber techniques. Whether you're brand new to the world of fiber arts or a seasoned veteran, we hope to give you something to interest you and help you advance in your craft. This year, we have marked the classes "B"eginner, "I"ntermediate and "A"dvanced, so you'll know at a glance what skill level is needed for you to be able to get the most from the class.
Some classes have a minimum number of students necessary for a teacher to go forward. If a teacher's required minimum is not met by August 30th, the teacher reserves the right to cancel the class.
Maximums are also noted for some classes- if you really want to take one of these classes make sure to sign up early so as not to miss out. You may register at the festival for any class that does not close registration on August 30th, however, there will be an extra $5 charge for all registrations at the door.
