Central Coast Weavers

Directions Website

Central Coast Weavers Weavers and spinners meet to share information, support and encourage each other on the Central Coast of California.

We are celebrating over 50 years of sharing and friendship. In 1962, a small group of local weavers and spinners met in Morro Bay to share information, support and encourage each other and to promote and celebrate handweaving and spinning on the Central Coast of California. That first meeting grew into what is now the Central Coast Weavers, serving all of San Luis Obispo County, as well as Northern Santa Barbara County. We are no longer a small group, but our goals haven’t changed over the years. Sharing information and friendship while promoting weaving and spinning are still at the heart of the guild. Over the years, we have expanded our membership to include basket makers, dyers, braiders and, in fact, anyone interested in the fiber arts. The benefits of Guild membership include twice monthly guild meetings, weekly spinners meetings, workshops, study groups, an annual retreat, and access to an extensive library of books and videos. We encourage and appreciate a wide range of weaving styles, techniques and ideas. We welcome new members and encourage them to become a part of the local weaving community. Please contact us for more information or visit our Meetings Page for information on upcoming meetings.

All Guild Meeting, November 12th, 2026.

Program: Doup Leno: Adventures in Loom-controlled Gauze Weaves with Deanna Deeds

Gauze, leno, doup… just what do these weaving words mean? Take a step into the dimension of crossed-warp weaves! In a slide presentation, Deanna will show the characteristics of gauze structures and how they can be made on the handloom. The lecture will show special steps to set up the loom to form the crosses in the warp and produce the tension needed to form clean sheds. With a couple of “accessories” added to your loom, a variety of beautiful and fascinating fabrics can be woven. This is a world in weaving waiting to be more deeply explored.

Join us at the United Methodist Church, 1515 Fredricks Street, San Luis Obispo. The meeting will open at 9:30 for informal visiting and come to order at 9:45 am.
