The KAWS That Was

Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild Posted on December 1, 2021 by WebAdminDecember 1, 2021

The 2021 Kansas Alliance of Weavers and Spinners (KAWS) annual conference is in the books now – and what a ride it was! Planning and hosting the event was especially interesting with the possibility of another COVID uptick always hovering in the background. But it was a success!

Sit back and enjoy browsing through some scenes of the lovely venue, some classes, the keynote speaker, and vendors! If you participated, this will be a reminder of the fun time, the good people, and the fiber that brings us all together.

We owe a debt of thanks to event photographer Kathy Fisher, who took almost 200 pictures, including the majority of photos shown here!
