What is Art Camp?
Art Camp is a gathering of Texas weavers in the even numbered years between Contemporary Handweavers of Texas conferences. Why wait two years to be with your weaving and fiber friends? CHT Art Camp is a smaller, more low key retreat for kindred spirits — weavers, spinners, basket makers and more — to get together for fun, fellowship and creating. Please join us as we gather again in 2020 for fibers, fun and relaxation in the beautiful Texas Hill Country!
We have some really fun workshops and evening sessions this year.

- Beginning Tapestry Weaving, Sherri Woodard Coffey

We’re also planning something fun to do together on Friday, the Art Camp Mixer. It’s still in the planning stages, but it will involve you bringing the first, or first-ish, thing you wove and something recent. So put that on your packing list!
Art Camp is a residential camp with accommodations in two bedroom condos. The breakout rooms are spacious and the evening gathering space very large. There is a large heated pool for your enjoyment and a fire Sunday evening complete with s’mores. Seven meals are included with menu flexibility for special requests.
Registration opens November 15, 2019 and closes February 20, 2020.
