Fiber Group

Focus on Weaving

A special Fiber Group that focuses on weaving, that enchanting intersection of the warp and weft we all love. Whether you weave with wool, silk, cotton, linen, paper, or your favorite fiber, join us to celebrate fibers and weaving. There are many different weaving types, styles, and patterns, not to mention all the different types of looms for weaving on. Join us and bring examples of your weaving projects, successful ones and maybe not so successful ones. There is something to learn from all of it and all of us! This is a dedicated opportunity to meet other weavers, talk, share, and inspire.

This meeting is also special for another reason, it marks 5 years since we started Fiber Group. We are a dyed-in-the-wool group that continued to meet on Zoom during the pandemic. Over the past years we have presented programs on many fiber-related projects from spinning and felting, to bookmaking, pin looms, crocheting, even gelli printing and junk journals. If it has fiber in it, we’re on it.

This includes our participation in FiberShed – we’re members of the Southeastern New England FiberShed group – field trips to the Woods Hole Library to discover their fiber arts book collection, and Peterson Farm to see where the sheep are raised for their wool, and sustenance, and to Highfield Hall for quilting exhibits.

We welcome participation from fiber enthusiasts and artists in the area. You do not need to be a member of the Falmouth Art Center to attend (though there is a $5 fee for non-members), though we encourage you to join.

So please come on Saturday, September 21, from 10AM – Noon, and bring an example of your weaving, to help celebrate everything weaving!

This group is free for Falmouth Art Center members, $5 for non-members.
