Fiber U is all about promoting Fiber Arts education in the Midwest and providing the opportunity to expand your knowledge and skill in working with fiber. There is a wide assortment of classes available for both the beginners and the experienced artisans alike. You can take up to SIX classes for a flat registration fee (plus any additional material fee), but you must pre-register as classes are limited in size and are filled on a first come basis.  Class and registration will open mid March each year, so please check back.

HOW TO REGISTER: Print out the registration form and fill in the required information (one form per person please). Choose your top 8 classes and list with #1 being the one you want to take the most. MAIL in your signed registration form with ONLY your registration fee made payable to Fiber U. You will be sent an e-mail confirming receipt of your registration and the class(es) you have a reserved space in.  Please do not send in your material fees until you are invoiced for them.  Classes are not confirmed until all material fees are received. If your material fees are not paid by the indicated due date, your space may be given to someone else on the waiting list.  If you wish to register for classes AFTER June 23rd, please e-mail your list of classes to info@fiber-u.com first to see if they are still available and receive your total amount due.

REGISTRATION HINTS:  Narrow down your class selections.  Then go to the Class By Time page (this is a listing off all the classes by the time they start and also where classes that are full will be noted in bold print).  If you are taking a class and need to rent a spinning wheel or loom, please be sure and indicate that on your registration form.

CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS: Cancellations are accepted in writing up to June 8, 2024 with 100% of registration fees and material fees refunded.  After June 8, 2024, only material fees will be refunded. Students who check-in at the event but do not attend their class will not receive any refund.  Cancellations due to “acts of God” will be assessed on an individual basis.
