Desert Sage Fibre Arts Guild (May, 2024)

Our roots began in 1977,when a few weavers began meeting in each other's homes to encourage innovation and learning. Member Daphne Malins designed and wove her Okanagan Tartan which she registered with CIPO and as a Scottish Tartan. In 1980 the Guild adopted the name of Desert Sage Spinners and Weavers Guild the tartan made its first appearance at the annual Arts and Craft Show. In May 2024, we voted to change the name to Desert Sage Fibre Arts Guild to reflect the diversity of the Guild.

If you are new to weaving or unfamiliar with some terms, the sites Weave Structures and Plain Weave Variations will help. I like this article on Mixing Twills for its practical learning.

We're starting off the New Year right with these Member's Accomplishments.

We may have been dozing for a year but we're not asleep at the wheel. Lots of amazing talent and beautiful work from a "Show and Tell" meeting Jan/Feb this year.
