Everything has been moved to our new location at 751 George Washington Boulevard in Wichita, and we’re getting settled in and ready to start a new chapter in the Guild’s history with the first classes in January 2018!

Online registration is now live for the classes scheduled for the first quarter – online payment isn’t quite ready yet, but will show up as an option as soon as possible.  See the class calendar or click on a class featured on the site’s home page.

This location seems meant for the new Fiber Arts Center – from the beautiful architecture to the ease of access.  Can you tell we’re excited?

The Morris Street entrance, closest to our room.

Through the door, our room is first on the left.

Looking to the left, across the mostly-empty room to the shelving.

Looking to the right, the former science room has smaller rooms, some with sinks!

There’s plenty of natural light in the small room selected for the library.

Some of the fiber…

Sorting and arranging cones of weaving yarns.

And more fiber and other items. (Yarn makes great packing material!)

Balls of yarn and additional cones will fill up this storage space,

The first looms are in! As more looms were brought over, the science lab counter was moved out to open up floor space.

Several Guild members spent days planning, cleaning, packing and moving, and many others pitched in whenever they could.  December isn’t the easiest time of year to carve out time for a major project, but this enterprise is dear to our hearts, and it was managed beautifully.

We know there will be some bumps in the road as we sort out details and class logistics, so we appreciate your support as we work to solve any problems that crop up in our new adventure.  Join us in making 2018 a fun and productive year!
