The guild is primarily a group of people dedicated to weaving and this one is also a teaching guild. We work to teach each other as well as other people.

In memory of Peggy, who was such a teacher, this loom will be in her memory.

It's part of our mission as a group. We try to mentor weavers and our open house has the goal of letting people try their hands at it.

There were tears all around. It was just really sweet. It was really a healing sort of thing for us in the guild and the family.

None of us really sell anything. Weaving is a passion and it just puts you in touch with your history to be able to make fabric.
