Our speaker this month is Susan Ward, presenting New Textiles for the Mid Century America 1930-1970: Handweavers, Industry and “Good Design”.
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.
The 2019-2021 challenge - The Beat Goes On - asked Guild members to create a scarf inspired by a popular song performed after 1922. Interrupted by the pandemic, this challenge spanned two years. This scarf was woven by Kathy Eklund.
Yearly Guild Challenges is one of the many benefits of membership in the Weavers' Guild of Boston.
