Welcome to the Central Pennsylvania Guild of Handweavers (CPGH)
The purpose of the Central Pennsylvania Guild of Handweavers is to promote excellence in design and craftsmanship in the fiber arts, to promote enjoyment of the fiber arts and to provide educational and social opportunities for its members.
The Guild strives to meet these goals through its monthly meetings and informal study groups. At most meetings, we feature a program related to the fiber arts, show-and-tell of members work, "weave doctor" to help solve problems, a short business meeting, and socializing.
We meet at 10 AM on the first Wednesday of each month (September through June) and at 6 PM on the first Wednesday of July and August at the East Berlin Area Community Center, 405 North Ave, East Berlin, Pennsylvania, 17316. We host a winter holiday potluck and gift exchange in December (starts at 11 AM) and the June meeting is a Pot Luck Picnic & "Castoffs" Sale that raises money for the Guild. Here is a list of upcoming programs.
CPGH owns and manages a great library of books, periodicals, videos and weaving samples. Members are welcome to browse the collection and check out items before and after the meeting. The CPGH library page lists items in our collection.
The Guild is pleased to offer our members an opportunity to advance their weaving skills through our Guild Advancement Program.
CPGH currently has approximately 80 members, mostly from Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. Visitors are always welcome to attend a meeting free of charge.
