Hawaii Handweavers’ Hui Aloha, and welcome to Hawai’i Handweavers’ Hui (HHH), a 501(c)3 membership based organization founded in 1953 to promote handweaving in our community.

Our mission is to encourage and promote excellence in handweaving by bringing together weavers, spinners, dyers, fiber artists, and educators who share the joy and passion of the fiber arts. We are a statewide organization with branches on Oʻahu and the Hawaiʻi Island serving 170+ members. Activities include workshops, membership meetings, community demonstrations, sales, and classes in weaving and fiber art offered at our new home in Honolulu, the Downtown Art Center. In the pursuit of excellence, we also organize a juried biennial exhibition and an annual scholarship given to a new weaver. Through ongoing mentorship to new weavers and spinners, we perpetuate the joy of our craft.
