DFW Fiber Fest

DFW Fiber Fest is a multi-day event at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, Texas, running Thursday through Sunday. Now in its third decade, it's run entirely by volunteers as a nonprofit organization. The class schedule is the backbone: three-hour and two-hour sessions run morning, afternoon, and evening across all four days, giving you room to go deep on techniques with visiting instructors. The vendor marketplace opens Friday through Sunday alongside the classes. The fest also offers a scholarship program for class registration, which speaks to the volunteer organization's focus on making fiber arts education accessible rather than just running a shopping event.
