We began twenty-five years ago as Las Tejedoras de Santa Fe y Los Alamos -- weavers and spinners living in the northern New Mexico communities of Santa Fe and Los Alamos. Today we have members throughout northern New Mexico and southern Colorado and our members knit, bead, make quilts and fabric collages, as well as weave, spin, dye, and enjoy fiber art. Thus we call ourselves Las Tejedoras Fiber Arts Guild.

We usually meet in the morning on the first Tuesday of each month from September through May in Santa Fe. We have started scheduling some Saturday meetings so check out the
schedule on the calendar page. Everyone is welcome at our meetings. Our guild offers educational programs, field trips, and workshops. We sponsor a guild fiber art show at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiui, New Mexico, each summer. These shows provide an excellent opportunity for our members to exhibit and sell their work. Our membership is open to anyone who loves textiles.
