Spring is almost here! That means, if you haven’t already, it’s time to register for a workshop or weekend class at MAFA 2025, or make plans to come visit us for a day.
As of today, 25 workshops are still open! Remember, you can filter the workshops list to find those still open. Go to the Workshops page, look in the sidebar, and click under “Workshop Still Open?” to filter for open or full. You can also filter by instructor, topic, or equipment needed. Especially if you want to come to the conference and not lug a loom or wheel with you, check out the No Equipment workshops.
All Weekend Classes still have spaces! If any classes aren’t full when weekend class registration closes, and if the instructors have extra materials kits, we may be able to take walk-ins at the conference. But to be sure of a spot, register now.
The Fellowship Application is open! Conference Fellowships provide a cash award to a conference participant who will pass on learning from the conference within the MAFA region. Find details and the application form on the MAFA website HERE.
