The Eugene Weavers' Guild has 40 members from Eugene/Springfield, OR and Lane County areas. It was founded in the 1940s. Membership is open to anyone interested in weaving. Membership benefits include library privileges, monthly programs, discounts for workshops offered by the guild, and membership in the Weaving Guilds of Oregon (WeGO) and ANWG.

The guild meets eight times a year, on the fourth Monday of September through November, and January through May (no December meeting) from 10 a.m. to noon. Our meeting place is in the Eugene Textile Center, 1510 Jacobs Drive in Eugene. In May we meet in the evening for a picnic which includes family members, and is held at a member's home.

A typical meeting consists of a short business meeting, a time for sharing of weaving projects, and a program presented by a fiber artist, either from the local area or from other areas of the state. Topics of past programs have included Basketry, Coptic Textiles, Oregon Linen pre-1940, Textiles of Turkey, and Velvet Weaving.

Our newsletter, Thrums, is published eight times a year. The Guild maintains a library of over 400 books and other publications available for members' use. Items may be checked out for one month at a time.

As a guild, we give demonstrations at the Lane County Fair and Oregon State Fair each summer.
