Mission Statement
Based in the Coachella Valley including greater Palm Springs area and beyond, Desert Weavers and Spinners Guild (DWS) aims to foster and expand interest in hand-weaving, spinning, felting and all fiber arts. To this end, the Guild offers programs, workshops and events that inform, educate and stimulate makers in the fiber arts. Members openly explore and study together; we take great pleasure in sharing what we know, learning from one another, participating in community events and encouraging others to share our love of the fiber arts. All are welcome.
