Guild Events & Outreach |
|
Community Outreach is one of the missions of the Triangle Weavers Guild. Each year the Guild participates in several events with the goal of educating the community about fiber arts. Guild members conduct demonstrations and give non-weavers the opportunity to try their hand at weaving and view spinning demonstrations. Our continuing goal is to promote a greater interest in the fiber arts and weaving by inspiring new weavers to come join the fun! |

|
Exhibits and demonstrations are held annually at Carolina Fiberfest, the Carrboro Arts Center Elf Fair and festivals, fairs, events, summer weaving camps and schools throughout the Triangle region.
The Guild also continues to sponsor the Fiber Arts Show and Sale at TFAC. Started in 2017, the event showcases member crafts including hand woven wearables, baskets, felted wearables, hand spun yarn, jewelry, Shibori dyed wearables and home products. Each craft is rooted in tradition while looking forward to the future by inspiring new generations of craftspeople. This and other exhibitions by Guild members are designed to encourage emerging textile artists. |
