We love to see new faces and fresh ideas! Contact us if you have questions about any group.
Beginning Weaving
Beginning Weaving is a monthly group focused on helping new weavers learn more about the craft. Any kind of looms are up for discussion, from rigid heddle to table and floor looms, and even simple frame looms that can be made at home. More experienced members attend to help with advice and suggestions. Meetings are on the 2nd Sunday of each month at 1:00pm at the cafe in Books-A-Million (6111 Newberry Road).
Craft Corner
Need a recurring weekly time and place to socialize and work on your portable project? Knit, crochet, calligraphy, coloring books, weaving on a small loom, stitching, mending, yarn untangling? Bring your project and please join our group! Meetings are Monday mornings 10:00 am to noon at the Books-A-Million cafe 6111 Newberry Road G’ville
Hand-Spinning
Weavers tend to be a rather tactile and self reliant group, so hand-spinning often exerts its pull on us at some point or another. Ann hosts these meetings on the 3rd Monday of the month at 7:30pm. Contact us for more meeting information and directions.
Historical Textiles Group
Come discuss the sourcing of fibers, materials and textiles used to clothe the world over the years. From pre-history to Victoriana and beyond, we will explore the techniques developed to create textiles. Meets at the cafe in Books-A-Million 6111 Newberry Road, the third Thursday of each month from 6:00-7:30pm.
Tapestry Weaving
Tapestry weaving is perhaps one of the most potentially mobile and inexpensive ways to begin weaving. Along with personal projects, this group sometimes works collaboratively to create pieces to exhibit in the larger weaving community. Meets at 11:00am at The Bagel Bakery 4113 NW 16th. Blvd. Gainesville 32605, the Monday following a Guild Program or Workshop.
Charity Knitting / Crocheting
We gather at different times of the year to use our needles to create donations for local charities. Information will be shared in the GHG Newsletter when a project is planned.
