About Us
Overmountain Weaver's Guild was established in 1972 and has earned a reputation for great weavers and spinners. We are all individuals, each with our own interests and abilities in weaving techniques. Many of us are also experts in spinning and the other fiber arts. Our members try to use their knowledge to help others to learn and improve their skills. At the same time, members acheive their own goals. If you are intersted in joining us, we meet at Exchange Place in Kingsport, TN on the third Wednesday of each month beginning at 10:00 AM. We also usually meet on the first Saturday of each month at Exchange Place at 10:00 AM in what we call "Boot Camp". Please see the calendar to see if we are having Boot Camp for the current month As payment for using the facilities at Exchange Place, we fulfill certain obligations to them. We participate in their festivals by showing our wares and demonstrating our crafts. Also, during the month of August Guild members act as weekend tour guides for the Exchange Place. As a service to various organizations in the region, members volunteer their time and abilities to demonstrate and teach fiber arts. If you are interested in learning to weave, see our Weaving Classes page. Overmountain Weaver's Guild provides various weaving and spinning equipment that members can rent for a nominal fee.
