For sixty years, the Bobbinwinders Guild has fostered the ancient tradition of weaving, producing striking fine and decorative art. In June 1955, when orange groves still dominated the landscape in the Pomona and San Gabriel Valleys, fifteen weavers gathered to celebrate their craft and became the founding members of the organization.
The diverse work of local weavers will be showcased in this exhibition. Examples of looms and other tools of the trade will also be on display, and demonstrations of weaving techniques will be offered periodically.
