The Tacoma Weavers Guild
is celebrating its 75th Birthday this year in November.

A grand celebration is planned, commencing with our November meeting to be held at the Tacoma Public Library downtown. All former members are encouraged to attend.
A documentary video of the guild including many historical images will be presented.
The guild will present “The Art of Weaving” at the Handforth Gallery within the main library Nov 12 – Dec 31, and at various branch libraries through out the county.

Meetings are held the second Friday of each month September through May, 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Saint Andrews Episcopal Church, 7410 S. 12th St., Tacoma, WA. 98465.

The guild sponsors a variety of activities that require smaller group efforts, including Study Groups for Sewing with Handwovens, Spinning, and other ongoing groups as needed. Standing Committees include Workshops, Conference, and Community Outreach programs.
Each September, TWG members demonstrate at the Sheep to Shawl at The Fair.

New members are quickly assimilated into the guild by including them in guild activities.  It is a rare occasion when the president doesn't immediately have a volunteer when she asks for someone to do something.

In the year 2000, TWG was chosen to receive the Margaret K. Williams Art Award for "substantial contributions to the development of the Arts in Pierce County" by the Pierce County Arts Commission.

The guild is actively committed to the promotion of hand weaving and related fiber arts, and demonstrations and exhibits of these crafts for the enrichment of the public's knowledge.
