Exhibit and Sale Now....

This event has two parts.  First, there is an exhibit.  In 2009 it was a collection of fanciful bras in hand woven fabric and decoration by the guild's textile artists.  The collection toured to raise funds for free mammograms.  Read all about it at Loving Cups.  Stay tuned for this year's exhibit.

The sale part of the event offers shoppers a wide range of juried weaving by guild members:  colorful blankets, household items, soft warm scarves, one-of-a-kind clothing, and novel gifts.

... and Then

The sale was started in 1922 by charter members of the Weavers Guild of Boston who offered fine hand woven items to Boston customers.  They strove to keep quality high and to encourage continual learning by their members.  The purpose remains the same today and upholds the fine traditions set by the original seven women.

The guild was able to house the sale in private homes until the early 1980's.  The increase in both the number of weavers and the volume of work dictated moving to a large hall.  The Josiah Smith Barn, filled with rustic beauty, was chosen.  Having a permanent location has made it easy for our customers to find us.  Today there are over 2,000 items in the sale and customers come from long distances to enjoy the colorful atmosphere created by the artistic weaving.
