A new guild home
"A beautifully restored old schoolhouse set among rural green pastures is once again a home for education and learning, but this time the subject is fiber arts. The Triangle Weavers Guild opened the door to the area’s new Triangle Fiber Arts Center (TFAC) in Durham, North Carolina. The Triangle Weavers Guild held an open house earlier this year and already has placed TFAC on the map as a place to learn about all things fiber, with many study groups and classes, including one on garment construction with Daryl Lancaster and a tapestry class by Anita Wolfenden. Special children’s fiber activities are planned for later this year. The Triangle Weavers Guild envisions the new TFAC as a place to offer even more weaving and fiber-related classes, seminars, and workshops to inspire the creativity of guild members and to serve as a home where knowledge and skills can be shared with the community. To learn more about the guild and the TFAC, visit www.triangleweavers.org." |
