Join HGB!
Membership in the Handweavers Guild of Boulder is open to persons interested in or actively engaged in the art of handweaving and related crafts, such as knitting, crocheting, spinning, piecing, dyeing, basketry, felting, and beading.
The Guild’s objective is to explore the lore and techniques in handweaving and related textile arts and crafts and to stimulate interest in these media.
Whether you are new to fiber arts, or an accomplished artist, we feel confident that you will find an enjoyable, creative, and inspirational place within the Guild.
Membership in the Handweavers Guild of Boulder includes participation in our HGB Fiber Art Show & Sale, outreach programs, and other ongoing events.
