Here are a few of the specific fiber arts that we promote, guild gatherings, and a few private local learning opportunities. Groups may meet to chat and help each other learn the craft. Drop us an email to find out when and where they meet or who to contact. Check back with us here as these groups' meeting dates may vary due to holidays or other venue closures.

Meetings of the guild's rigid heddle study group are held the second Wednesday, 10 AM to noon, and second Sundays from 1:30 to 3:30 PM. See the latest Newsletter for more information.

Maurine also offers private "Introduction to Weaving" classes at her home at which students will learn how to weave a sampler which will contain 60 different patterns.  Students will come to her home several different times. Find more information at  https://maurinesfibercreations.com  

The guild's spinning circle meets Wednesday mornings from 10:00 A.M. to Noon at the Sahara Library, 9600 West Sahara Ave in Las Vegas. The public is welcome!

Our October meeting is focused on dying fibers and fabrics.  Check the newsletter for more information, and members will also receive information via email. 

The guild's most recent exhibit was held at the Winchester Dondero Cultural Center on March 10-25, 2022.  On display were articles done by members during the stay-home portion of the pandemic.  Photos from the exhibit are on display in our gallery.

Guild members contribute their time and talents to groups of students. Sometimes it is in a setting that is open to the public, and other times it is in a classroom. Recent talks were the basics of weaving, the fabric in clothing and how it relates to sheep and cotton, spinning, and weaving, and a hands-on class in Japanese Kumihimo. 

In partnership with the Nevada State Historical Society, the guild sets up displays at the Old Mormon Fort, located at Las Vegas Blvd and Washington Ave. They usually include spinning and weaving demonstrations and often a hands-on lesson.

Our spinning group meets every Wednesday from 10 to noon at the West Sahara Library to spin, share, and entice others to try it! Members and friends are welcome to join us and bring your portable fiber arts project.
