Teach a workshop at Michigan Fiber Festival!
Would you like to teach a workshop at Michigan Fiber Festival? We'd love to see what you have to offer! As a guideline for our workshop chairpeople and potential instructors, we will be surveying our facebook page and group to see what classes our potential workshop participants might like to see in the future. Looking at current trends in all fiber arts is a great place to start though! Mini and off loom weaving, natural dyeing, brioche knitting, gradients, and tapestry weaving are all incredibly popular right now! The sky is the limit, we want to see interesting and new ideas!
Workshops take place from Wednesday to Saturday, August 15-18, 2018. We are looking primarily for half day and full day workshops. If you have any questions please direct them to the festival at staff@michiganfiberfestival.info
