PNWFC strives to create a legacy of fiber production through education, stewardship, and trades cultivation. The more hands on fiber, the better.
Goals in this Pillar:
Function as a clearinghouse connecting individuals to guilds, yarn and fiber shops, festivals and industry events as well as workshops and folk schools.
Develop fiber industry trade pathways to encourage new entrants to fiber-related vocations.
Services PNWFC plans to offer in our first three years:
Regular publication of an e-newsletter that, among other topics, will provide up-to-date information regarding fiber related educational opportunities and relevant legislation.
Exhibit resources and education around the foundations of fiber production at events as well as in presentations at educational institutions, associations, and organizations.
