About Us
What We Do
The mission of the Piedmont Fiber Guild is to promote appreciation of the Fiber Arts to all members and the community through education, events, support, and advocacy.
Organized in the early 1970's as the Charlotte Handweavers Guild, our group has evolved into a regional membership of people interested in all aspects of the fiber arts.
We offer programs related to fiber arts each month, as well as workshops several times each year with regionally and nationally known artists. Visitors and guests are always welcome.
As dedicated fiber enthusiasts, we welcome everyone interested in creating with fiber. Our members include knitters, felters, weavers (weaving) of all ilks, crocheters, lacemakers (tatted and bobbin), leather workers, spinners (spinning), quilters, those who sew, shepherds, basketweavers, and dyers, as well as many others.
If you do it with a fibrous material, WE WELCOME YOU!
