Call for tender for Fiber Zone 2027

General Information

The FASERZONE is part of the summer symposium TEXTILE KULTUR HASLACH. This well-known event has been taking place for over 30 years in the beautiful weaving village of Haslach an der Mühl in the north of Upper Austria and includes textile courses and workshops, special exhibitions, specialist lectures and many other offers that attract a constantly growing specialist audience.

The highlight of the summer symposium is the INTERNATIONAL WEBER MARKET, to which visitors from near and far come to Haslach to buy high-quality, handmade products. In the FIBER ZONE that takes place in parallel, materials, yarns, and accessories are offered – a service that is highly appreciated especially in times when sources of high-quality materials and expert advice are becoming increasingly scarce.

We cordially invite you to apply for the Fiber Zone 2027! This year’s summer symposium will take place from July 18 to 30, 2027. For more information about our program, please visit our website: www.textile.kultur.haslach.at.
