Wednesday Morning Workshops
This Fall 2021 we offer two or three workshops in September, October and November. We will meet via Zoom from 10:00am until noon.
In the Spring, we offer two live in-person workshops as well as one Zoom workshop in March and April. Live in-person workshops are open to the public.
We hope the workshops will provide an opportunity to broaden one's understanding of weaving and related areas.
Information on the 2022-2023 Workshops and Lectures will be posted in late July, 2022.
New Guild Challenge for 2021-2023
A new guild challenge has been issued for the 2021-2023 year. Members may find complete details on the Membership tab under 'Programs'.
The Weavers’ Guild of Boston Study Groups
As a new benefit to membership and a continuation of our educational charter, the Guild is creating a Study Group program. The Study Group program will be overseen by a Study Group Coordinator, and each Study Group will be independently organized by a Study Group Manager. Each Study Group will have a section on the website for their private use; to share images or ideas, organize meetings, set up guidelines and topics, etc.
In a Study Group, everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher. A Study Group is not a class, but is a gathering to share ideas and learning experiences. We hope our members will want to join in.
Current Study Groups:
Exploring Woven Fabrics by Janet Phillips
New and Occasional Weavers
Weaving Teachers
WGB connects people seeking weaving instruction with guild members who teach.
Ratings Program
The Guild offers a weaving ratings program for full members. Four levels may be achieved by a weaver: Apprentice, Journeyman, Master, and Master Plus. The program is a valuable study guide which offers critical analysis of your work as you progress and bestows recognition on those who meet the standards.
