 The Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild sponsors an exhibition every year. In odd-numbered years, CHG hosts the juried Southeast Fiber Arts Show. In even-numbered years, CHG holds an exhibition which is open only to CHG members.
The Margaret Mott Award is presented at CHG’s Members' Show to a Guild member whose work has never been exhibited in a juried show, and whose entry is handwoven and entirely executed by the recipient. This award has been presented at every Member’s Show since 1992. Visit Members Only to view the list of past Margaret Mott Award winners.

The Margaret Mott award will also be presented to a CHG member who has never exhibited in a juried show or won an award at a CHG Member's show, and who shows notable potential. The item must be hand-woven and entirely executed by the recipient.
So, sign up for a class, take a workshop, or check a book out of the CHG library for inspiration, then start weaving. May will be here before you know it!
