Workshop Facilitator

At 1st Faire, workshops are more than classes. They are experiences, moments of connection, creativity, storytelling, learning, and magic that help bring the Faire to life.

For 2027, we are blasting off into “Out of This World,” an immersive alien inspired adventure filled with cosmic creativity, strange encounters, futuristic imagination, and intergalactic wonder.

We are looking for passionate facilitators, artists, crafters, makers, healers, teachers, performers, creators, inventors, and curious minds who want to share something meaningful with our community. Whether your workshop is hands on, educational, immersive, interactive, silly, soulful, practical, artistic, futuristic, craft based, skill driven, or completely bizarre in the best way possible, we want to hear about it.

This is not a vendor application. We are specifically looking for people who want to guide an experience, teach a skill, lead a craft, create a moment, or transport attendees into something unforgettable.

When describing your workshop, please tell us:
• What participants will experience
• What skills, crafts, or knowledge you will share
• What attendees will create, learn, or take home
• What makes your workshop unique or engaging
• Whether your workshop is beginner friendly or experience based
• Any materials, tools, or supplies involved
• The overall vibe, energy, or intention behind the experience

We especially love workshops that encourage creativity, crafting, community interaction, self expression, exploration, playfulness, collaboration, movement, storytelling, experimentation, and hands on participation.

Think cosmic. Think weird. Think inspiring. Think glowing space bazaars, alien sciences, celestial crafts, futuristic fashion, intergalactic art labs, survival skills, sound journeys, bizarre inventions, strange technologies, movement, healing, performance, and experiences people cannot find anywhere else.

Out of This World will be built by the dreamers, explorers, artists, crafters, and beautiful weirdos who help bring it to life. We are looking for facilitators who genuinely care about creating memorable experiences and helping attendees feel connected, inspired, and immersed in the magic of 1st Faire.
