Columbia FiberArts Guild is a group of fiber artists from Oregon and Southwest Washington. Makers of all types of fiber art are included.
The purpose of Columbia FiberArts Guild is to set and maintain high standards of design, color, and workmanship in all forms of fiber art. Its aims are to educate in the methods of creative fiber techniques and to stimulate interest therein with the community.
The first meeting of the Guild took place on June 5, 1969, with 39 women in attendance. Over the years, the number of members has varied from 40 to over 300. The Guild has at times been affiliated with the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and has gone by several names, including over 20 years as Columbia Stitchery Guild. The Guild has always provided exhibitions, interest groups, area groups, speakers, and workshops for its members. Columbia FiberArts Guild recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. |
