    Learn a few simple graphic design tips to make graphics to promote your studio work and events. You won't find many pre-made templates to promote your studio event or open house, especially not ones that feature fiber art. (Everyone thinks art means it needs a paintbrush, right?) You'll learn some tips on how to create your own eye-catching images using your photos and create templates you can reuse. (Demos will be using Adobe Express, but these same techniques can be used in Canva and other graphic editors.)

Our crafts know no national boundary. They are a part of the heritage of the world. The Spinning and Weaving Week celebration reflects the truly international membership of the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc., and the international traditions of our crafts.
