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.
