Spinning and Weaving Week is a 7-day celebration of the fiber arts. October 3-9, 2022, the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. (HGA) will offer virtual programs that will educate, inspire, and support the fiber art community. The nominal registration fee includes access to all 7-days of programming including Marketplace LIVE, Thread Talks, Studio Tours, Panel Discussions, Fashion Show, Virtual Exhibit Hall, and Networking Opportunities. For an additional fee, registered attendees may participate in an Art Sparks session. These sessions are sample classes or mini workshops covering a hyper-specific topic and are often used to introduce attendees to a new art form, technique, or equipment.
