How Do Our Meetings Work?
Our guild has facilitated-weaving meeting. Members can choose to weave the facilitated group project or bring a project of their own. The skill level of our members ranges from beginner to experienced and includes working with various materials & techniques. You can contact, Diane Wilson, our newsletter editor by referring to our Membership list. She mails out the group project information ahead of time.
There is also an additional activity called Open Weave meetings which are non facilitated, bring your own project to weave and enjoy the company of other weavers.
Do I Have to Be a Member to Weave?
We love visitors! There are many members who can help you with your weaving project. If you decide to join our guild, membership is $30 annually, or $15 after July 1. We ask that after attending either one guild meeting or two open weaving days, visitors consider joining our basket guild.
