Membership in CHG
The membership and Board of the Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild (CHG) welcomes new members! The Guild serves textile artists from Atlanta and surrounding areas whose interests range from handweaving to feltmaking, handspinning, dyeing, beading, basketmaking, and beyond. CHG reflects the interests and concerns of the Atlanta area fine arts and crafts communities and represents and celebrates the common ground of endeavor for professional weavers, hobbyists, teachers, students and collectors of textiles. Guild members are inspired to reach for excellence, and Atlanta’s cultural community is strengthened by CHG’s vigorous and committed arts organization.
Monthly meetings, classes, and workshops are available to the general public. Guild Memberships are an important part of the sustainability of the organization and help us to support our mission to promote and preserve weaving and other fiber related arts
through education, programs and outreach to the community.
Guild memberships are purchased on an individual basis for a term of one year (365 days). Students enrolled in a college level fiber arts program are also eligible for discounted memberships. Please contact the Membership Chair (membership@chgweavers.org) for more information.
