The Craft Guild of Iowa City hosted our Midwest Weavers’ Conference 2019, Uncommon Threads, on the Grinnell College campus in Grinnell, IA June 20-22, 2019.
The conference celebrated all that is unique about handwoven, handspun, and handmade textiles and included: three-day workshops, one-day workshops, half day lectures, a fashion show, members exhibit, guild exhibits, vendors and a special exhibit of the work of Iowa fiber artists in the college art gallery, The Falconer Gallery.
The conference opened with a keynote address given by our own Amy Norris and John Mullarkey who shared how Midwest conferences led to their friendship and textile collaborations.
