26th annual Weavers weekend

Join us for our 26th Annual Weavers Weekend in Shawnee OK!  

We are looking for instructors and vendors to wow our participants with new creations and look forward to another stellar year of fantastic baskets!  

See info for instructors/vendors  and downloads of the application forms below.  

(Information  for participants will be available late spring/early summer)

This year’s event will once again be held at the Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center in Shawnee, OK.  (The Shawnee Convention and Visitors Bureau will assist with lodging information, hotel discounts and information on local attractions.)

If you are interested in submitting basket proposals, complete an application form for each class you wish to propose. We do not place a limit on the number of proposals you send, but we do ask that you include a variety of class lengths. 2, 4-, 6-, 8- and 10-hour classes will be considered. 

Classes will start on Friday at 9:00 am and finish at 12 noon on Sunday.

Keep in mind when pricing your classes that we do not pay instructors. However, instructors are not required to pay the registration fee and the guild will provide lunches for you on Friday and Saturday.
