The Nashoba
Valley Weaver's Guild is a group of weaving enthusiasts who have
a variety of skill levels and weaving interests. Ongoing programs
include weaving and spinning demonstrations at the Fruitlands
Museum in Harvard. Some of our members are also available for
demonstrations at schools, libraries, or other local events, upon
request. On occasion, the guild sponsors lectures and workshops
by experts in the field.
Meetings are
held on the fourth Tuesday of the month (September to June) at
7:30 PM in the evening at the Fiber Loft, on Route 110 in the
center of Harvard Massachusetts. Visitors are always welcome.
The exhibit
features handwoven articles produced by members of the guild.
In addition, there is a tabletop loom set up for visitors to experience
weaving first hand.
