Fairbanks Weavers' and Spinners' Guild A vibrant fiber arts Guild in Fairbanks, Alaska hosting open studio craft events, workshops, fiber fun gatherings, and crafty camaraderie.

The Fairbanks Weavers' and Spinners' Guild was founded by 11 weavers in 1952 and received 501-c-3 status in 1985. In 1991 the guild rented studio space in the Lathrop Building, an old building in downtown Fairbanks. The Guild secured the UAF looms which had been in storage since 1987 and began the UAF Weaving program again in the fall of 1991. Weaving was part of the UAF curriculum from 1927 until 2020, in Home Economics and cross referenced with the Art Department. The Guild moved from the Lathrop Building to Davis Hall at the Fairgrounds in 2021 where we continue our mission to promote the fiber arts in Interior Alaska.

Card weaving, also referred to as tablet weaving, is an ancient craft. This warp faced weave has traditionally been use for making strong, narrow, decorative bands and belts. The materials required are very simple; yarn, cards, and a shuttle.
