 About the
Guild
In the fall of 1981,
ten people met to discuss the possibility of organizing
a group of weavers, spinners and basket makers. They lived
in and around the Morris County area of New Jersey. Their goal
was to establish a guild for the purpose of studying and exchanging
ideas and knowledge about their crafts. This was the beginning
of Jockey Hollow Weavers. Since then, our Guild has grown and
includes novice and experienced practitioners of the fiber arts.
The membership year starts in September and membership dues are
$25.00.
Our
Guild belongs to the two major fiber associations - The Handweaver's
Guild of America (HGA) and the Mid-Atlantic Fiber Association
(MAFA). Visit our Links page
