Fibre Week

Fibre Week 2019 - July 5 - 11

We're really excited about new dates which move Fibre Week into July and hopefully make the event a bit more accessible for those who can only get time off July/August. All of the same great Fibre Week experiences and services will be available: weekend classes, a merchant mall and fleece shows. Social events, food and accommodation services right on campus, our great stores and shops, and a Calgary airport shuttle. And if you want to get very serious, of course our Master Spinner and Master Weaver programs will be back.

Stay tuned to this page, more information will be posted as it becomes available regarding the event's activities and classes. Registrations open March 1, 2019.
