GUILD MEETINGS

Columbia Fiber Arts holds guild meetings in December, March, June, and September.

These meetings area a great way to get involved with CFG — a place to network with other fiber artists to share ideas and discuss common interests. (Lunches after these meetings usually offer even more opportunity to expand your network.)

Each guild meeting features a guest speaker — someone known nationally in the world of fiber art. The speaker also holds a workshop in connection with the guild meeting in March, June and September. Members may sign up for this workshop at a reduced fee.
