Welcome 

The San Juan Weavers Guild was established January 13, 1977 by nine women. Their purpose was to celebrate the art and craft of handweaving and handspinning. Over the years the Guild has been actively involved in preserving the arts of handweaving and handspinning by educating the public through demonstrations, etc. The Guild has also supported a number of different groups, who are working to preserve handweaving and handspinning. Such as the Navajo Sheep Project, the Mountain Valley Developmental Services weaving program, HGA and WARP, just to name a few. The San Juan Weavers Guild has grown to number eighty plus members, several of which are nationally known weavers, spinners and teachers. Weavers and Spinners of all levels of experience are gladly welcomed.

Members of the San Juan Weavers Guild gather to celebrate the art and craft of handweaving and handspinning. Through the Guild, members share a common thread with weavers and spinners everywhere. Guild activities stimulate and support creative efforts and provide educational opportunities for members and the community.

The San Juan Weavers Guild meets in Montrose, Colorado and includes textile addicts and fiber artists from all across the Western Slope of Colorado. Membership is open to everyone interested in textiles, and visitors are welcome at all meetings. Individual and family memberships are available.

"More Time to Weave" -  Our Guild cookbook contains a great assortment of easy and delicious recipes so you can get something on the table quickly then get back to your spinning or weaving. If you are interested in purchasing the guild cookbook "More Time to Weave" which is featured in the Spring 2008 WARP article, please contact Linda Brown at lindaevansbrown@yahoo.com.
