Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild meetings are generally held on the third Saturday of the month. Occasionally, the meetings are moved to Friday night to accommodate a weekend workshop. There are no meetings in July, August, or December.
Refreshments are followed by a short business meeting, Show and Tell, and the program speaker. Programs include lectures and demonstrations by guest and member speakers on topics related to fiber arts. Visitors are always welcome!
| Saturday Meetings: |
Refreshments are served at 10:00 am
Meeting begins at 10:30 am |
| Friday Meetings: |
Refreshments are served at 7:00 pm
Meeting begins at 7:30 pm |
The Helen Woolman library is open both before and after meetings for members to browse, check out and return materials from the Guild's extensive textile-related collection.
Mini-workshops are free to CHG members and are held two or three times a year after regular meetings. They last an hour or two and cover a wide variety of topics — from beginning spinning to kumihimo to sewing with handwoven fabric. Regardless of the topic, mini-workshops are always interesting and enjoyable.

September Meeting - Magical Trip
At the September meeting, Judith Krone will share adventures from the Slow Fiber Tour to Japan. Judith went on the tour with Yoshiko Wada and a group of fifteen other fiber artists to study shibori techniques, indigo dyeing and to find inspiration in the culture and beauty of Japanese textiles. She has culled her 700+ photos to give us an overview of what she describes as a "Magical Trip."
