Love textiles? Want more weaving, knitting, quilting or spinning? Vancouver Island Fibre Fest is for you!
Vancouver Island Fibre Fest 2015 is May 1-3 at the Campbell River Community Centre.
Registration for workshops has begun, with opportunities in knitting, weaving, quilting, fabric dye, appliqué, felting and Viking knitting.
“This will be a fun and jam packed weekend you won’t want to miss!” says recreation programmer Judy Ridgway. “The workshops lined up are amazing, and we’re expecting another fabulous marketplace that promises great shopping.”
The Fibre Marketplace will feature vendors from all over Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast and Gulf Islands. The popular Kids’ Corner is back as well to teach children skills for a lifetime.
