2025 Fiber Festival Workshop Proposal

Thank you for your interest in teaching a workshop at the 2025 Fairbanks Fiber Festival!

Please read all of the details below and then submit your proposal.

Important Dates:

Proposal Deadline: May 15, 2025
Instructors will be notified of decision by: June 15, 2025
If selected, instructors will need to confirm workshop details and complete all required paperwork by: July 15, 2025

Workshop Dates & Locations:

Workshops will be scheduled the weekend of the Fiber Festival (October 10-12) at various locations in Pioneer Park.
Additional workshops can also take place the weekend before and weekend after the festival at the Fairbanks Weavers and Spinners Guild at the fairgrounds.

Workshop Fee Structure:

Generally, registration fees are $25/hour, with $13/hour per student going to the instructor. In some cases, we may adjust this up or down depending on the nature of the class but we will work with you on that.
Additional material fees can be added on by instructors, with 100% going to the instructor.

Pay What You Can Discounts:

Workshop registration is offered on a Pay What You Can basis, with discounts available to participants up to 30% off (excluding material fees). These discounts are offered in order to make our workshops accessible to more people in our community and costs are covered by the Fiber Festival so that instructors will still be paid full price.

Taxes:

Instructors will be required to fill out a W-9 and those who earn over $600 will receive a 1099 at the end of the year for tax purposes.

Please see above for info on when and where workshops will be taking place!

Some class spaces may be large enough for this to be possible, allowing us to schedule more classes.

Please upload a few photos to represent your workshop. They don't necessarily have to be the final photos used for promotion - just enough to give us an idea.
