Founded in 1922, the Weavers' Guild of Boston is the oldest weavers' guild in the United States. With over 300 members worldwide, our monthly meetings aim to educate members and the general public in the artistic and technical aspects of handweaving and to advance the standards of handweaving.
​
Members also enjoy a choice of two to four workshops each meeting (workshop registration begins August 15), a quarterly Bulletin (which includes a handweaving draft with instructions), an extensive library, a Ratings program, Education Grants, special extended workshops, and participation in our Annual Sale.
​
The Guild meets the second Wednesday of the month from September to November and from February to May. Guests are always welcome.
In the 2021-2022 challenge - Getting Back to Our Roots - members were to create a scarf based on a draft from the 1920s and modernize it. Combined with the scarves from The Beat Goes On these scarves created The Waterfall of Scarves for the 100th Anniversary exhibit. This scarf was woven by Lynne McKay.
Yearly Guild Challenges is one of the many benefits of membership in the Weavers' Guild of Boston.
