"Fiber Artists of Handweavers' Guild of Connecticut" Exhibition
"Fiber Artists of Handweavers' Guild of Connecticut" will be showcased in Wilton Library's June art exhibition. The Handweavers' Guild of Connecticut, which celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2023, was started in 1948 by a small group of women and has grown to a membership of 270. The Guild invites handweavers, spinners, and other fiber artists from all levels of experience to exchange ideas and share knowledge, to encourage and educate, and to challenge their abilities in fiber art techniques. Anyone who is interested is invited to attend a Guild meeting and consider becoming a member. The Guild meets five times a year at the Congregational Church in South Glastonbury on the third Saturday of the month, bimonthly from September to May.
Guild members reside all across the state of Connecticut, as well as in New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The artists from the group will be exhibiting their works in an array of styles and fiber content.
Opening Reception on Friday, June 6 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. is free and open to the public. Exhibition runs through Saturday, July 5. A majority of the works will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the library.
