What’s new for teachers this year?

• Festival hours have been expanded to a full weekend! There will be classes Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
• We will have two national knitting teachers this year, so we are especially looking for submissions that feature other techniques: crochet, spinning, weaving, felting.
• Classrooms have moved away from the vendor hall and into a smaller conference room. Our local teachers will be limited to a maximum of about 10-12 students per class.
• Applications are ONLINE ONLY this year. This eliminates the risk of getting lost in the mail.

Visit our CLASSES page to submit a class proposal. The deadline is February 15, 2017.

What’s new for vendors this year?

• Festival hours have been expanded! Vendor load-in will be on Thusday afternoon, and we will be open to the public Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday.
• Classrooms have been moved. We now have the full conference center, making space for a few extra booths.
• Applications are ONLINE ONLY this year. This eliminates the risk of getting lost in the mail.
• Houston Fiber Fest is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Visit our VENDORS page to apply.
