Enhancing lives through study & creative expression in weaving & fiber arts
About the Guild
We are a non-profit organization that promotes study and interest in weaving and the related fiber arts – including spinning, felting, dyeing, knitting, and other textile-related work. We embrace the diversity of tradition while encouraging innovation in the fiber arts. While most of our members live in Western, NY, we have online members from across the nation and abroad.

Other benefits include: eligibility to rent equipment and to participate in the annual fiber sale, and unlimited volunteer opportunities.
Weaving & Fiber Arts Center
The Weaving & Fiber Arts Center is a unique learning place in the region. Developing new skills and a love for the fiber arts is the heart and soul of the Guild. We offer classes for adults and youth in weaving, spinning, knitting, felting and much more. Our instructors bring a breadth of expertise and share that talent with their students.
