Thank you for your interest in teaching at the 2026 Fiber+Fabric Craft Festival, taking place April 30 – May 3, 2026, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. This is your opportunity to educate, inspire, and connect with passionate makers and creatives from across the country.

We welcome proposals from instructors across all areas of the creative community, including but not limited to fiber and fabric arts, sewing, quilting, knitting, crochet, cosplay, embroidery, spinning, weaving, beading & jewelry, scrapbooking, mixed media, DIY, painting, felting, and more. Sessions should focus on teaching techniques, sharing skills, and offering attendees meaningful hands-on or project-based learning experiences.

Our primary focus remains the fiber and fabric sector, but we aim to celebrate and include the full spectrum of crafting and making.

Applications are due by August 1, 2025.
