We are pleased to announce that the MAFA 2021 Conference brochure and website are now available at mafafiber.org/conferences/mafa2021/.

This year’s Conference will be virtual, offering nearly 80 online classes in weaving, spinning, dyeing, felting, basketmaking, and other fiber arts. We are offering twice as many classes as usual, but with each class in a shorter format better suited to Zoom. Plus we’ve added lectures, demos, and classes on special techniques and topics.

Many of our MAFA conference traditions continue in the virtual format, including the fashion show and exhibit, fiber art exhibit, towel exchange, vendor marketplace, chair yoga, and social time with fiber friends. Our keynote address will be given by textile artist and former Surface Design Association president Jane Dunnewold on Saturday, June 26. For full conference details, visit the conference website.

We look forward to seeing you at MAFA 2021!
