The Canadian Valley Art Guild hosted the Weavers Guild of Oklahoma City during its June meeting.

The Weavers Guild gave hands-on demonstrations on various looms and spinning wheels as well as discussing the different materials used for weaving.

Weaving is a centuries-old practice of interlacing yarn or thread together to make woven pieces of fabric.

Weaving differs from other fiber arts such as knitting, crocheting and macramé as it relies on the interlacement of multiple threads to create the patterns and requires a loom.
