*Please note that PEI Fibre Festival prioritizes showcasing workshops which provide instruction on techniques, arts and crafts that directly utilize wool and other natural fibres and will be vetting its applicants based on this priority. Decisions should be made by mid-March. We will then contact each accepted instructor for room setup instructions and AV requirements.
Instructors will be provided with an option to pre-order and pre-pay their lunches for Friday and Saturday, which will be delivered to your workshop room. More information will be included in the instructor packages once instructors are selected.
