Dear West Coast Colours and Carding,
TAKE NOTE:
The Bozeman Weavers Guild (Bozeman, MT) couldn’t be more excited!! The pre-registration for MAWS 2018, “The Sky’s the Limit”, recently opened to an excellent response from fiber artists around the area. The Main Conference will be held in beautiful Big Sky, MT, July 14 – 17, 2018 and features headliners Jason Collingwood, Linda Harthshorn and Jane Patrick.
Vendor applications are still open for the MAWS Conference and I would like to encourage you to take a look at the amazing class offerings during both the Main Conference and the Pre-Conference to see what MAWS 2018 is offering its participants. The instructors and classes are exciting, but what would a Conference be whithout awesome vendors?! We would love to have you consider applying to be on our Vendor List. We are attempting to contact as many vendors as possible from previous events in our area. ANWAG 2017 is one of those events.
You can find information and vendor applications for MAWS 2018 on the Bozeman Weavers Guild website. “The Sky’s the Limit” should be an amazing conference in a gorgeous mountain setting!!
