The Triangle Weavers Guild
Triangle Weavers, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation organized in 1972 providing community outreach and shared learning experiences to those engaged in fiber arts. Its mission is to support fiber artists at every level of experience. Our membership includes over 240 members from beginning weavers to expert weavers and artisans. The Triangle Weavers Guild is a member of the Handweavers Guild of America and the Mid-Atlantic Fiber Association (MAFA).
Membership is open to anyone interested in weaving, color and dyeing, spinning, basketry, knitting, felting and surface design. General membership meetings feature educational programs given by noted speakers and textile artists, and these meetings are open to the public
Yearly dues of $40 entitle members to receive the yearbook and monthly newsletters and to participate in guild activities and rent looms and equipment. Guild activities include workshops, classes, study groups, library privileges, and exhibition opportunities.
We have opened the Triangle Fiber Arts Center as a place where lovers of fiber arts can gather to learn, share and socialize.
Guild members are active in the community, participating in many outreach and educational activities through the year.
