Event Details
The Arizona Federation of Spinners and Weavers celebrates Guilds from all over the state with a Fiber Conference EVERY OTHER YEAR. The Federation works hard to make sure this conference attracts fiber artists from all over Arizona and the South West.
You can read more by going to www.azfed.org to see if there are classes you would like to attend. There are classes for beginners to the advanced fiber classes. This is a great accomplishment for the Federation. The workshops are first rate and the vendors room is a Disneyland for anyone who loves fiber in General. The Vendor area is open to the public so you do not need to be in attendance to peruse the world of fiber. Vendors from all over the United States gather to show their latest tools, supplies, fiber and books.
If you have interest in fiber this is the place to be.
