What's ANWG
ANWG is an association of fiber arts guilds located within the Pacific
Northwest US and Western Canada.
Guilds become ANWG members when they pay dues to ANWG. Individuals become a member of a guild by paying dues to the guild. Each individual of a Member Guild is also a member of ANWG. Click here to learn more about ANWG.
Crossing Borders Crossing Threads
The 2013 conference theme is "Crossing Borders, Crossing Threads." It is an appropriate theme for a weaving conference at Western Washington University, so near the Canadian border in Bellingham. It is a theme that honors the influences of the many cultures whose people have crossed borders and brought their weaving traditions with them. The theme also celebrates the influences of woven borders and traditional cultures on design and color in our modern world.
