​​About

The goal of the Golden Isles Fiberarts Guild is to promote fiber arts and provide resources and educational opportunities to members and the community. 
​
The Guild began in 1989 when a few people interested in weaving came together to share a love of working with fiber. Through the years the Guild has grown and we currently have 88 members. 
​
We all love to share our knowledge and we welcome beginners to our group. We currently have nine interest groups which all meet monthly:  Beading, Embroidery, Felting, Garment Construction, Knitting/Crocheting, Quilting, Rug Hooking, Surface Design and Weaving. Members are welcome to join all groups. 
​
The Guild meets on the first Monday of the month (October through May) at 3:00 p.m. There is a short business meeting followed by a program presented by one of the interest groups. 
​
We hold workshops throughout the year. 
​
Members are encouraged to participate in the guild show which is held at a local gallery every other year.

Weaving​​​​​​​​​​

"Weaving, one of the oldest fiber crafts, is very relevant today. We enjoy sharing special techniques and unique materials to weave both useful and beautiful items."

Quilting​

"Quilting together is just like creating story with fabric. It is visually spectacular, creative and a time where we share ideas and learn new techniques." 

-Nancy Harper
