The Salem Fiberarts Guild currently has 53 members. Our purpose is to promote interest in the fiber arts in the community and to provide a means of exchange of information to the membership. Some of the ways in which we do this: hold regular monthly meetings, publish the Salem Fiberarts Guild newsletter, hold an annual Handweavers' Sale, and demonstrate weaving and spinning.

The first Salem weaving guild was founded in 1947. The Salem Fiberarts Guild members were previously two guilds; OWLS (Oregon Wheel & Loom Society) and SHG (Salem Handweavers Guild). In September, 2001, we merged into one guild, the Salem Fiberarts Guild.

Membership dues are $20.00 (individual) $27.50 (family) per year, beginning July 1. Benefits include: monthly meetings, guild newsletter, use of the guild library, and Friday Weavers (an informal gathering for sharing, show & tell and lunch).

The guild offers two meetings a month: the fourth Tuesday at 7pm, the fourth Wednesday at 10am. Members are welcome to attend both and visitors are always welcome. Guild meetings are held at Mission Mill Museum's Textile Learning Center, on the fourth floor of the historic Mill Building. Guild members are volunteer partners with Mission Mill. We do our best to accommodate the Mill's needs in return for their generosity relating to meeting, library, and studio space.
