We meet the second Saturday of each month, September through June, at the Marjorie Webster House on the campus of Lowell School, 1640 Kalmia Road, NW, Washington DC. Meeting at 10:00; coffee hour begins at noon.
The Guild is an educational group that welcomes new members interested
in exploring the fiber arts with emphasis on weaving. Members
are not required to have any level of expertise, only a desire
to learn and share.
At our monthly meeting (second Saturday September - June) we usually
have a hands-on mini-workshop for a small fee. Come and learn
something new about weaving, dyeing, knitting, crochet, beading
or some other aspect of fiber art.
At noon there is a lunch/social hour.
Bring a sandwich; we provide beverages and some members bring
desserts. A library of fiber art books is open to members noon
'til 1.
Experts in various aspects of fiber arts present programs at the
afternoon meeting. These may be nationally recognized artists
or one of our own talented members, some of whom have work displayed
in galleries and/or museums.
We sponsor 3 to 4 major workshops a year which last 2-3 days and
offer in-depth exploration of fiber techniques.
Members receive a newsletter announcing upcoming programs as well
as other fiber events in the mid-Atlantic area. They also receive
reduced prices for equipment rental, minis and regular workshops;
and may join a study group.
Membership information: 301-498-8019.
