70th Anniversary
The Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild will be celebrating their 70th year as a guild.
In January 1953, a group of weavers met to hear Miss Flora Dee Goforth, a dedicated enthusiast of Indian Art. During her talk, Miss Goforth suggested that the group might well emulate an Indian tribe and form an organization for the promotion of hand weaving. When the evening was over, a committee had been formed for the founding of a weavers’ guild.
Over fifty enthusiastic weavers attended the meeting the following month. The organization was named “The Rocky Mountain Weavers’ Guild.”
