New in 2013: You Made That?!?

Instead of regular fiber workshops this year, some of our vendors will be presenting “You Made That!” mini classes and demos. Some are free, some have a moderate cost that includes all equipment and supplies needed. You will learn a new skill and go home with a finished, or easily-finished item!

And because these classes and demos run 90 minutes or less, you have plenty of time left to shop, visit with friends, and enjoy the fiber show or participate in the fiber contest! Best of all, you don’t have to sign up in advance, leaving you free to be spontaneous. Of course, space is limited in paid classes, so if you see something you like, be sure to stop at the vendor’s booth early to sign up. Descriptions, when available, are below, or follow the links in the names of the classes.

If you’re a vendor and interested in giving this a try as a fantastic way to promote your business, contact Vendor Chair Beth Grabow, [email protected], or call 989 915 9315 and leave a message. As space and time allows, she will add your class idea to the schedule.
