Plan to spend Saturday, May 15th with fellow fiber enthusiasts expanding your textile knowledge about textiles, textile techniques, and ideas. Make new fiber friends; enjoy your familiar ones. Be inspired!
Deadline for Registration is Thursday, May 6th!
Further orders for extra bags can not be accepted, as the bags are sold out.
The theme for this year's conference is Connections, and it is the hope that everyone who attends will connect with fiber, other weavers, and spinners from across the state, as well as those who have gone before us and those who will carry on.
The Handweavers Guild of Boulder is honored to have the sponsorship of the CU Museum of Natural History, which makes our location on campus possible. The CU Museum extended the year-long exhibit Navajo Weaving: Diamonds, Dreams, Landscapes so conference attendees can view the exhibit. A special reception will be held Friday evening, May 14th, 4:00 to 6:00 pm. See you in May!

A Bit of History
What is Colorado Weavers Day? The first Colorado Weavers Day was organized by the Pike's Peak Weavers Guild in Colorado Springs in 2004 as a way to bring weavers from across the state together. It was the goal of the organizers to bring weaving guilds and their members together to learn more about each other, as well as to provide mutual education. Since then Colorado guilds have hosted Colorado Weavers Day on even-numbered years.
