Today is a big day. We welcome 200 more participants. The Marketplace opens for a conference preview when setup is complete ~ around 4:30 pm. At 6:00 pm, we begin to gather for the Fashion Show, which is our first evening event. The party includes a dessert buffet and a no-host bar.
Have a great day and take pictures! We will post them to our new Conference Photos page. You can send them to photos@anwgconference.org.
Nametags Required
Should you meet members of the Whatcom Weavers’ Guild, do let them know what you like best about your nametag holder. Whatcom weavers mobilized over the past 18 months to design, sample and produce all of our nametag holders in conference colors. The pattern weave is a modified version of a draft called Hopvine in Davison’s A Handweaver’s Pattern Book. Thank you weavers and sewists!
- Please wear your nametag at all conference events.
- Nametags help us learn our new friends’ names.
- Nametags identify wearers as conference participants.
- Nametags with open space at the top right identify full conference package purchases, which include all evening events. If your nametag contains only name and guild identification, it means you registered for everything.
