Founded in January 2006, our mission is to provide a venue for the exchange of knowledge and ideas for the handweavers of Central Virginia.
 
  Our members represent all levels of weaving skills, from beginners through production weavers and weaving instructors. For more information on classes, events or outside workshops, see our "Members Page".

Below is a picture of a counterbalance loom with napkins our members wove and exchanged during our first year.
