Guild in the Charlotte/ Lake Norman area
Submitted by Debbie NC on
Is anyone aware of a weaving or fiber guild in the Charlotte, NC area? I have heard of Charlotte' Web, but there is not even a web site to get info on them. The Piedmont guild is in Gastonia, but I would be closer to a giuld in Hickory. I think there is one in Hickory. I know there are weavers in this area, after all this is still NC. I am still new and could really use some help from experienced people.
Thanks
Debbie

thanks for your help. I have
thanks for your help. I have checked that site before. There seems to be a big black hole of fiber arts in this area, east of Asheville and west of Winston. I did find a NC list that had this group.
The Fiber Artists' Guild of Charlotte
But there is no information, and a google turned up nothing.
Debbie, I'm not in NC, but
Debbie,
I'm not in NC, but have had the same problem in the UK. I have the choice of two active Guilds, Cambridge an hour away or London 2 hours away. The guild that is listed as being closest to me does not seem to be active. I know this doesn't really help find you a guild, but I hope it helps to know you're not alone in having difficulty finding and active face to face group.
In the meantime, I hope you'll feel that Weavolution in your local guild until you find a face to face group. It is one of the reasons I love Weavolution. It is like a guild that meets all day every day!
Good luck in your search,
Erica
Some info
Here's the link for the Piedmont Fiber Guild that meets in Gastonia. I understand that they used to meet in Charlotte. Very welcoming, with a weaving sub group. I see now that you are looking for a group nearer Hickory, don't know of any there.

If you would like to drive over to Salisbury, we have a small informal weaving group and meet in the early evening the first Wed. of the month. Just send me a note for more info.
Charlotte Area Guild
Hi Debbie, I just moved back to the area and hope to set up a studio and get a local guild going. I have 6 floor looms for teaching! Let me know if you are interested!
