Fiber Friday, a fabulous feature of Fiber Week, will be February 18. We’ll host a day of speakers, demonstrations, open studios, and community gatherings free for all enrolled students. Meet your fellow students and instructors, expand your interests and enjoy our cozy campus learning atmosphere. Come early or stay late; you won’t want to miss Fiber Friday!

Since we can’t all cozy up and craft on our harborside campus, join us instead on Zoom for a fascinating lineup of webinars on textile traditions from around the world. We’ll host Lunch and Learn speakers at noon central time throughout February. On February 17-18, tune in for an international lineup of speakers working to preserve cultural fiber practices. Can’t make the live webinars? Find recordings online at northhouse.org (available through the end of February).
