Fibre Week

FIBRE-IN SOCIAL

Fri June 19, 2020 from 6:30pm - 8pm
Fibre Artists unite to enjoy a casual evening of your favourite craft. A casual, no commitments, informal social, come as you are, in and out as you like, and try a variety of fibres donated from vendors in the Fibre Pop Up Shop. It’s a great opportunity to meet fellow participants, and try out some new fibres before you make that big purchase!

MYSTERY BOX FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE

Back by popular demand, Fibre Week is calling on all fibre enthusiasts, samplers and artists to let their creativity run wild. A mystery box of fibre will be available for purchase by donation, and the challenge is simple: use it to create something wonderful, wild, beautiful, meaningful, fun, or all of the above! Then bring it back next year to show off and share! There will definitely be prizes. Ask at the Registration Desk. Want to see what was created by the minds of your fellow fibre fanatics? Check out last year’s participants and vote on your favourite at the Silent Auction. There are prizes for the people’s choice!
