Thought this might be good here...
H.
Midwest Spinners and Weaver's conference will be in Canton, OH July
10-13. Pre-conference events start July 6.

A membership for the regular conference now runs $140 and includes 3
mini-sessions (4-hour) or 1 mini-session and one maxi (all day).
Membership also includes admittance into the 3 keynote speeches by
Heather WInslow, Ingrid Boesel, and Anita Mayer, an informal fashion
show, a juried fashions show a breakfast and a banquet.

There are roughly 100 minisessions to choose from, on subjects including
tapestry weaving, coverlets, basket weaving, spinning, creativity, and at

least one session on felting.

The maxi-sessions include Color and blending spinning, Flax processing
spinning and weaving, advanced card weaving (taught by Sigrid Piroch),
and sprang work among other things.
