The Michigan Weavers Guild (MWG) is dedicated to encouraging excellence, inspiring creativity, and preserving fiber traditions by providing forums for the education of handweavers, handspinners, basketmakers, and fiber artists in related disciplines.

We invite you to join us!

Meetings are held monthly, September - May (not December), the third Thursday of the month at the Farmington Hills Public Library, 32737 West 12 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills. The library is on the south side of 12 Mile Rd. between Orchard Lake and Farmington Roads. A social hour begins at 12 noon, with the meeting starting at 12:30 p.m.

Programs feature outstanding speakers from the United States, Canada and abroad for programs and workshops. Programs include slide lectures or mini workshops about weaving, spinning, dyeing, felting, basketry, beading, papermaking and all forms of fiber arts. Several workshops are held each year.

MWG has been active since 1947 and is affiliated with the Michigan League of Handweavers and the Handweavers Guild of America. Members participate in several exhibitions and sales each year.
