    • Studio upkeep

    • Volunteering at LexArt sales and studio events

    • Contributing to the holiday sale

• How often do we meet?  What if I can’t come to all the meetings?

  • We meet alternate weeks on Zoom (Monday evening) and in the studio (Tuesday morning).

  • Some members arrange to come on other days, so you can reach out and try to find a time to be at the guild when other members are there in person.

• Do I need to make a reservation to come into the studio?

  • No.  Members can come in any time that LexArt is open.  

• How do I get permission to use a loom or other equipment?  How long do I have to finish a project?

  • And yes, you can use the yarn!

• What equipment do you have for non-weavers?

  • Spinning Wheels

  • Sewing equipment

  • Rag cutters

  • Various tools

• What is in your library?

  • You can browse our collection of books and magazines at any time.  We have books organized by type of fiber art, and also have back catalogs of weaving magazines.

• Is it OK if I am a beginner?

  • Of course!  We are all beginners at something in this guild, and not all of us are weavers.  While regular guild meeting times are not for specific instruction, we are putting together a curriculum and can also guide you to other resources to learn to weave.  We also are always happy to share experiences and knowledge.

  • We are also expanding resources for other fiber crafts.  

• How do I sell my work?

  • LexArt runs an annual holiday sale to which Guild members are encouraged to contribute.  

  • LexArt operates an online store that you can sell at at any time.

  • A portion of sales benefit LexArt and the Guild.
