HGA's Convergence biennial conference offers classes of various lengths and intensity to satisfy your need to learn about the fiber arts. From beginning handweaving to designing fabrics with computer-assisted tools; from spinning one's own yarns to dyeing fibers in your own custom colors, from an in-depth study to a quick overview for the curious, Convergence offers something of interest for everyone who loves fiber!

HGA's Convergence 2010 Albuquerque is pleased to offer instruction in a variety of fiber techniques, including weaving, spinning, dyeing, basketry, feltmaking, knitting, garment construction and sewing with handwovens, tapestry, design, and much more!
