Weavers Guild of Minnesota

Welcome to the Weavers Guild of Minnesota!

The mission of the Weavers Guild is to educate and support its members and the community, and to advance the arts of weaving, spinning, and dyeing.

Come visit us within the Textile Center. Check out these Upcoming Events, and if you haven't already, consider becoming a member of the Guild or volunteering.

Once again, members of the Weavers Guild of Minnesota will demonstrate weaving and spinning at the Minnesota State Fair, August 21 - September 1, 2008. Look for us in the Creative Activities building near the Snelling Avenue entrance.

Highlighted demonstrations include:
Tuesday, August 26: Hands-on demonstration of band weaving and Kumihimo braiding. Braiding kits will be provided during the demonstration. Visitors can enter to win the kits.
Sunday, August 31: Hands-on demonstration of spindle spinning. Visitors can enter to win a drop spindle.

The Guild sponsors eight special $25 awards given to outstanding weavers in all weaving categories (see State Fair Creative Activities Premium Book, published in May).

To learn more about the Fair, please visit their website.

Join us Saturday, September 13 from 10 am - 1 pm for the Weavers Guild and Textile Center Fall Open House!

Take a tour of the center and dye lab, see the Guild's classrooms, meet instructors, watch demonstrations of weaving and spinning and try it for yourself! Light refreshments will be provided.

All ages are welcome!
