Check out the workshop descriptions below for current offerings. Note each workshop has different registration deadlines.

Please note that your spot is not secure until your full tuition amount has been received. If the workshop is full, you can be added to the waitlist. Non-Guild members may send inquiries via the contact form on our home page.

*NOTE: By registering for a workshop, please understand that you have made a financial commitment to the entire cost of the workshop. If you cancel and you are unable to find a replacement from either, first, the waiting list, or second, your own efforts, you will still owe the Guild the remaining cost of the workshop. Fairly, as we only break even on our workshops, this remaining amount should not be incurred by the other participants. If the workshop is cancelled participants will receive a full refund.

Workshop Co-chairs: Erika Goldstein and Jill Connell.

MINI WORKSHOPS are a way for members to share talents, mentor learning, and create community in a short, fun format. The instructor volunteers their time so the only cost to members is for supplies. Registration is available at Guild meetings. Contact Workshop Co-chairs to either volunteer to share your talents, or to sign up for a workshop.

Tablet Weaving Basics and Beyond
September 5 – 7, 2025
An in-depth review of tablet or card weaving.
Instructor: John Mullarkey

On Day one we will start with a basic history, and then cover drafting and designing threaded-in designs, setup, and basic weaving and finishing techniques. Day two we will learn the circular warp setup, discuss weaving with individual cards in packs, and learn about double-turn double-card diagonals. A deeper look at the mechanics of tablet weaving will be discussed. Day three we will explore double faced weaving techniques. This workshop is good for those looking for an in-depth look at basic and intermediate tablet weaving techniques and mechanics. No tablet weaving experience required, but this is a great workshop for those with experience who want to look deeper into this art.
