Who is the Santa Cruz Textile Arts Guild?

History

SCTAG has its roots in the Santa Cruz Handweavers’ Guild, which was formed in 1955.

In recognition of the diverse textile interests of its membership, the guild was reborn as SCTAG in 2018.

The guild is a member of the Conference of Northern California Handweavers Inc. (CNCH), a California corporation that has education as its sole purpose. Benefits of membership in CNCH include access to conferences, vendors, and workshops for guild members.

Mission Statement

The Santa Cruz Textile Arts Guild (SCTAG) encourages and promotes the spirit of cooperation among all those who practice – whether weaving, spinning, felting, braiding, basket making, dyeing, stitching – any creative activity that binds hands with fiber.
