The Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild was founded in 1955. For over 50 years the guild has promoted fiber arts from the very traditional to the digital fiber media available now in the 21st century. The CHG is the perfect place to meet others who love fiber and want to learn new techniques. A primary focus of CHG is education. We offer support, fellowship, inspiration, creativity and the cross fertilization of ideas and techniques which will encourage and promote diversity in all areas of fiber art.
