Weaving, Spinning, and Dyeing
in the beautiful Pikes Peak Region
Pikes Peak Weavers Guild was founded in 1959 to promote the arts of hand weaving, spinning, and dyeing. Nestled in the shadows of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, PPWG members are never lacking in inspiration for color, texture, and design. Our programs, workshops, and demonstrations serve to inspire and educate our members and the public on the history, techniques, and artistry of handmade textiles and basketry. Come along on our fiber journey!
Pikes Peak Weavers Guild meets on the 2nd Friday of every month between September and May.
Visitors and Guests are welcome!

Past Projects and shows
Woven Together: Firestorm
In 2012 wildfires raged through the western United States, burning over 6.4 million acres. The Waldo Canyon fire alone consumed two lives, 346 homes and 18,247 acres. Woven Together: Firestorm shows how fiber artists use their medium to express the turmoil and emotions of witnessing and surviving a wildfire.
Colorado Weavers Day 2016
PPWG is proud to have hosted this biennial seminar in 2016, featuring speakers, workshops and displays from the Front Range and beyond.
Sensational Towels, Napkins, and Placemats!
This ebook came about from a seminar by Carol Wilkinson at the 2016 Colorado Weavers Day. The intent was not to provide detailed how-to instructions but to inspire weavers in different ways to create their own unique work. This book is free to download, but may not be republished or hosted without permission.
CD Weaving at the Pioneer Museum
Watch our video and learn to weave beautiful designs onto old CDs. Turn that trash into treasure!
Pioneer Museum Coverlet Collection
PPWG and the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum collaborated on a project to research, photograph, document, and analyze 42 coverlets plus additional fragments. The project culminated in a joint exhibit at the Pioneers Museum with several of the historic coverlets shown along side modern interpretations woven by members of PPWG.
Living with Beauty: Handwoven Textiles for the Home
A particularly exciting outgrowth of the project with the coverlet collection was the international juried exhibit titled Living with Beauty: Handwoven Textiles for the Home sponsored by PPWG. It provided a rare opportunity for weavers of items for the home to enter and display their art. The show opened June 13, 2008 in Manitou Springs, CO.
