Guild Info
Charlotte CRAFT Guild
We are a registered 501 c3 nonprofit organization in the Charlotte Region. Our purpose is to promote and foster interest in fiber and textile arts through educational opportunities, community outreach, and charitable endeavors.
The Charlotte Region Arts Fibers and Textiles Guild is based in Charlotte, NC and was founded in 2021 by nine women who all share the love of creating things with their hands. The group consists of crafters of all skill levels, but who all share a common interest:
to learn new techniques, share ideas, and form new friendships.
