What is a Fiber Guild?
Traditionally fiber guilds focus on one type of craft,such as weaving, and help members learn to be skillful artists in that craft.
In this area of the country, fiber artists may live great distances from one another, so we welcome all types of fiber lovers in one guild, where we can help each other grow in our chosen specialty. Sometimes this sparks an interest in a different fiber art!
Are There Meetings?
Guild members and friends gather to learn more about fiber arts through workshops on specific topics and through sharing expertise with other members. Sometimes a guest artist comes to share skills members don't have yet.
