MAFA is Mid-Atlantic Fiber Association. MAFA is an association of 58 guilds
from 8 states in the Mid Atlantic region. Individuals become automatic
members through membership in a participating guild. Individuals who are
not members of a guild may maiantain associate membership. MAFA has
conferences every other year (odd-numbered years). For several years, MAFA
was held at Bucknell University, but this year it is going to be at Towson
University, Towson, MD. There will be over 40 intensive 3 day workshops on
June 19-21, and more than 100 classes on June 22-24. The complete list of
workshops and registration materials should be availalbe within the next
couple of weeks. I don't think they have a web site, but the email address
