Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild Presents:
Creative Confinement – Online Fiber Show

Our Members’ Show, as planned, was canceled due to COVID-19 shelter in place requirements. Instead, we’ve come up with a way to put on a show with a twist – we’re now hosting a show online and we have invited some of our neighboring guilds to join in. In a small way, we can help fill the gap that Convergence left in the summer when it was canceled. We’re working on some awards for the show but more details about that will come later.
See the work here

Categories:
Functional, Wearable, Accessory, Mask, Made During Shelter in Place (Started on or after March 1, 2020), and Mask. See registration page for descriptions.

If we keep the number of visiting vendors to about 5-6 each week, this will allow us to maintain good social distance with each other and not overcrowd the customers.
