About the Triangle Fiber Arts Center3717 Murphy School Rd,
Durham, NC 27705-8009 The Triangle Weavers Guild leases space in a historic school building in Durham and has named it the Triangle Fiber Arts Center. We currently have three classroom spaces devoted to our community of fiber artists who gather here for many diverse activities. We have numerous study groups and twice weekly drop-ins for informal sharing of our work and our studies. We also hold classes and workshops throughout the year for beginning and more advanced weavers. Also, we occasionally offer opportunities for spinners and other types of fiber artists. Our extensive library is housed here and so are our rental looms and equipment.

November/December 2015 issue of Handwoven features TWG/TFAC Story
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." |
