The purpose of the Mountain Weavers Guild is to: 1) promote friendship and understanding among its members, 2) assist members in the pursuit of spinning, weaving, dyeing, and basket making through education, discussion and programs, and 3) to share our crafts through demonstration in the community. If you are interested in fiber arts, we invite you to join the guild or to attend one of our programs. The guild meets the third Saturday in January, February, March, April, June, July, September, and November, with a Christmas gathering in December. You can find us demonstrating at the Augusta Heritage Festival in August and the Mountain State Forest Festival in October. You can also attend one of our classes, taught by experienced textile weavers and guild members, and learn the craft of weaving for yourself! To learn more about the guild, to see our program schedule and recent events like us on Face Book at Mountain Weavers Guild. The Mountain Weavers Guild is a non-profit organization incorporated in the state of West Virginia.
