Weavers of Orlando
Established in 1942, Weavers of Orlando is a nonprofit organization of over 100 members from the Central Florida area who are interested in promoting and encouraging interest in the fiber arts such as weaving, spinning, basketry, dying, and felting.​
Monthly meetings are held at the Orange County Extension Office and via Zoom. Meetings begin with a Program on something fiber related, followed by brief business updates, then “Show and Tell” where members show off projects they have recently completed.

Members receive bi-monthly newsletters and get first chance to take three sponsored workshops, two of the workshops are usually with nationally known instructors. The Guild participates in Florida Tropical Weavers Guild (FTWG) conferences and Handweavers Guild of America (HGA) activities. We also host an annual Holiday Sale in December.​
