Thank you for your interest in the Florida Tropical Weavers Guild! FTWG is a non-profit organization whose primary mission is to educate the public on the art and craft of weaving, spinning and basketry. We provide and promote opportunities for weavers of all types and abilities to develop new skills and interests, and to expand their creative efforts in the fiber arts.
