Hangtown Fibers Guild
Founded in 1981, the purpose of the Hangtown Fibers Guild is to encourage growth and knowledge of the fiber arts through meetings, workshops, lectures, and the exchange of ideas.
We are a Placerville-based fiber arts group. Our members share a common bond in the love and fascination with fibers; the cultivation, preparation and use of them, and the desire to congregate with like-minded people.
Request more information or ask us questions via email on our contact page.

This is a special Opportunity for all Members:
Arts and Culture El Dorado, which houses the Switchboard Gallery at 525 Main St, Placerville is featuring the Hangtown Fibers Guild from April 17 to June 1.
There will be a reception on April 17 in the evening and a catalog of the juried art (pieces chosen by the gallery). Check out the President's Message in the current newsletter, and the recent email from the guild.
We are hoping that all our members will submit 2 of their best pieces of fiber art for consideration for the show. Loren Christofferson of the gallery will be coming to our February meeting. We hope members will bring one or two pieces just to give him an idea of what we will be submitting for consideration. We will have a separate area for this display.
The submission process is as follows: Email a digital picture of each of your pieces, along with the dimensions, your name, phone # and the specific fiber art to: [email protected], Cc: [email protected]
Subject: HFG Show Submissions
Pictures are due by February 28 to be considered for the show.
If you can't make the meeting but would like Loren to see your items in person, you can call him for an appointment at:
(530) 295-3496.
This is a wonderful opportunity to show our community what we are all about and share our passion for the fiber arts.
