Fiber Festival Workshop Proposal Form

The Fiber Festival of New England is celebrating it's thirteenth year in 2023. The Festival is a much anticipated annual event for shepherds, knitters, spinners, dyers, felters and other fiber and animal enthusiasts. Each year the Festival offers a portfolio of workshops for the fiber art community during the run of the festival.

The Festival is always the first full weekend in November. The 2023 Festival will be Saturday, November 4 and Sunday, November 5.

Our workshops will begin Saturday, November 4 and run through Sunday, November 5. Workshops focus on fiber preparation, spinning techniques, dyeing, knitting, felting and weaving of fibers. Workshops times are suggested to run 1/2-day or less in length (we look specially at workshops that run for 90 minutes or less). FFNE pays an honorarium for teaching workshops.

Class cancellations will be at the determination of Festival Management. Signups will be accepted on the day of the event. All instructors should be prepared to handle the maximum number signups at the time of their presentation.

Factors considered when choosing workshops and teachers may include:

Popular new or advanced techniques for fiber artists
Representation of basic or beginner techniques
Proposed equipment and space needs
Teacher experience/qualifications
Demand for specific class or teacher

Deadline for proposals is February 1
