Founded in the 1940’s, the Eugene Weavers’ Guild has members from Eugene, Springfield, surrounding communities, and rural Lane County, Oregon. Membership benefits include library privileges, monthly programs, study groups, discounts for workshops offered by the Guild, and membership in the Weaving Guilds of Oregon (WeGO) and ANWG. We invite you to join us!
The guild meets on the fourth Monday of the month, September through November, and January through May or June (depending on programs or holidays; no December meeting) from 10 a.m. until noon. We meet at the Eugene Textile Center, 2750 Roosevelt Blvd., Eugene. In June we meet in the evening for a potluck picnic at a member’s home.
A typical meeting consists of a short business meeting, a time for sharing of weaving projects, and a program presented by a fiber artist, either from the local area or from other areas of the state. Topics of past programs have included Basketry, Coptic Textiles, Oregon Linen pre-1940, Textiles of Turkey, Coastal Salish Weaving, Creativity, Design, Color Inspiration, Rep Weave, and Velvet Weaving.
Our newsletter, Thrums, is published eight times a year. The Guild maintains a library of over 400 books and other publications available for members’ use. Items may be checked out for one month at a time.
As a Guild, we give demonstrations at the Lane County Fair, the Oregon State Fair, and at local events and venues.
Eugene Weavers’ Guild study groups afford opportunities for members to learn and explore shared topics of interest. A study group is organized around a common purpose as stated in its mission statement along with its goals and objectives. Study Groups are responsible to the Guild as a whole by reporting their activities through a variety of options that may include a presentation, gallery showing, newsletter report, or document with drafts and images.
THE WEAVE STRUCTURE STUDY GROUP
The Weave Structure Study Group (WSSG) is a learning community devoted to broadening the understanding of weave structures through education, practice, and group sharing. The structures to be studied and the length of time for study are determined by group consensus. We meet at the Eugene Textile Center at 10 a.m. on the first Saturday of each month to allow for more participation in guild activities for those unable to attend the regular Monday guild meetings.
THE FIBER CHALLENGE STUDY GROUP
The Fiber Challenge Study Group selects a different topic each year to challenge members’ creativity. Spirals and Curves. of which there are many examples in nature, will be studied in 2019. All fiber techniques are welcome including weaving, dyeing, spinning, sewing, knitting and crochet, braiding, book and paper making, etc. The first part of each meeting consists of members sharing what they are working on, from the idea stage to completion. We learn from and inspire each other. During the second part of the meeting people can share their work with others, for our additional education and inspiration. We meet at the Eugene Textile Center at 10 a.m. on the second Monday of each month.
THE NATURAL DYE & ETHNIC TEXTILE STUDY GROUP
The Natural Dye & Ethnic Textile Study Group is dedicated to the use of natural dyes on natural fibers suitable for weaving, with an emphasis on locally available, organic, and sustainable dyestuffs. The exploration includes dyeing on cloth and practices such as traditional ethnic dye techniques of shibori, ikat, and katazome. Meeting times vary and attendance in this study group is limited by the size of the dye studio. The group usually meets on the third Friday of the month at a private dye studio. Current projects include growing indigo, sponsoring a dye garden at the Extension Center, color experiments, and garment construction. We share the results of our studies through programs with the guild and with the broader community.
SCANDINAVIAN WEAVES STUDY GROUP
The Scandinavian Weaves Study Group, new in 2019, studies the weave structures of the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Sami, the indigenous peoples of northern Scandinavia and Russia. The group’s initial focus is the weaving history of Scandinavia. We meet at 10:30 a.m. at the Eugene Textile Center on the 2nd Thursday of every month.
INKLE WEAVING STUDY GROUP
The Inkle Weaving Study Group, new in 2019, is dedicated to sharing the basics of narrow-band inkle weaving, surface design ideas, the use of supplementary heddles, and explorations of color interactions. Meetings are at 11 a.m. at the Eugene Textile Center the first Friday of every month.

Rogue Valley Handweavers Guild is one of two guilds in southern Oregon on the I-5 corridor.
The purpose of the guild is to promote an interest in handweaving and associated fiber arts. Membership is open to anyone upon payment of dues. Annual dues are $25, payable in September.
Member benefits include use of the Guild library; use of rental equipment owned by the Guild; ten issues per year of the newsletter, RVHG Rogue Rovings, and the privilege of selling weaving/spinning related items during specific meetings. Guild members may attend conferences and workshops at member rates, due to RVHG membership in ANWG (Association of Northwest Weavers’ Guilds) and WeGO, Inc. (Weaving Guilds of Oregon, Inc.).
Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, September through June; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the 1st Presbyterian Church, 456 W. Pine St., Central Point.
The Guild administers a “Certificate of Accomplishment” program which is open to members of the Guild. This three-level program of weaving requires progressively detailed work to be submitted for evaluation. Unlike some programs, the items to be submitted are not just “samples”, but are usable pieces.
The Guild participates in various Outreach programs, setting up and manning displays and demonstrations of fiber arts at public venues in the area. There is usually a small loom available for hands-on experience by people of all ages. Events such as County Fairs, Hanley Century Farm events, and the Talent Harvest Festival are among the varied venues attended by the guild members.
Rogue Valley Handweavers Guild celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2003.

The Saturday Handweavers Guild was formed in 1973. The Guild was originally organized to accommodate weavers who worked outside the home and could not attend a meetings on a weekday. The group met in members’ homes until it grew too large.
We meet the 2nd Saturday of each month, September through June, generally from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. in one of the Jackson County libraries (based on availability). Please check the website (SaturdayHandweavers.com) for exact meeting times and locations. The meeting begins with refreshments and visiting followed by an informative program, a short business meeting and show and share.
The members come from Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass and many other small towns in the region. The purpose of this organization is to contribute to the knowledge of and provide for continuing education of weaving and related fiber arts, to promote interest in weaving and fiber arts in the local communities and to encourage improvement in our own work through comparison and sharing.
Our dues are $25.00 per year. The benefits members receive are many, such as informative programs put on by our members, programs from outside our membership, library use, a monthly newsletter and participation in study groups initiated by members. We also sponsor, for an extra fee, workshops taught by well known fiber artists.
Saturday Handweavers Guild members enjoy sharing their interest in fiber arts in various ways. Some members demonstrate weaving, spinning and other fiber arts at various venues in the surrounding area.

The purpose of Arachne Guild is to provide continuing education for members in the arts of weaving, spinning, and related fiber crafts. To further this goal, Arachne has a large library, a monthly newsletter, and monthly meetings on various topics. The guild’s travelling loom helps members learn new weaving techniques. Membership is open to anyone showing a genuine interest in learning about and sharing in the fiber arts.
Although the guild draws members mainly from the South Puget Sound area of Western Washington, some members commute over an hour to attend meetings and participate in other guild activities. Membership averages between 15 and 20 people. Dues of $20 a year give members access to the travelling loom, the guild library, and other resources, such as meetings, newsletters, and community activities.
Guild History
The Arachne Guild was founded in the mid-1970s and originally met in the home of Maxine Rose in Buckley, WA. When it outgrew private homes, it moved to its current site, a church in Edgewood, WA. Guild members are active in community outreach through spinning and weaving demonstrations at the Western Washington State Fair in Puyallup and competing in the Sheep-to-Shawl contest each September. In addition, members demonstrate at local schools and festivals.
