There is an opportunity to learn to weave – for free – in Portland, OR on June 17-18. This two day class is sponsored by the Association of Northwest Weavers’ Guilds (ANWG) and Portland Handweavers’ Guild at their conference June 14 – 19. It is tailor-made for beginners – people who have never woven before. If you’re picked, we’ll sponsor your attendance at the conference and provide everything you need to start weaving on a table loom. You’ll only be responsible for getting to Portland, lodging and most meals.
The ANWG conference is a six day extravaganza of everything weaving. There are juried competitions of handwoven items and clothing, fashion shows of handwoven garments, classes and seminars on a wide variety of fiber-related topics, dozens of vendors selling wonderful yarns and supplies, a towel exchange and a chance to meet hundreds of weavers of all stripes.
