Convergence features special lectures, workshops, one day studio classes, super seminars, seminars, exhibits, tours, special events, and a commercial vendor hall full of fibers, fiber-related equipment and an artist market. Our classes include novice to advanced instruction in a variety of fiber techniques, including weaving, spinning, dyeing, basketry, feltmaking, knitting, garment construction and sewing with handwovens, and more!

The largest city in New Mexico, Albuquerque offers a multitude of historical, recreational and educational opportunities. New Mexico’s diverse cultural history has produced many exciting attractions: Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, and New Mexico’s Fiber Arts Trails. Ranked as seventh best large city for the Arts by the readers of AmericanStyle magazine, Albuquerque is an ideal site for Convergence 2010.

With over half a million people in the metropolitan area, Albuquerque has all the big-city amenities with the comfort and friendliness of a smaller town. Historic Old Town offers many dining and entertainment options. Our headquarters hotels are near the Convention Center. With an average of 310 days of sunshine a year, New Mexico is perfect for outdoor activities.  Combine Convergence with your family vacation.  Albuquerque’s International Sunport and Amtrak offer easy connecting transportation to many cities in North America.
