Frances Irwin Handweavers is a weaving guild that meets monthly in northwestern New Jersey, drawing members fromt the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. Through programs and workshops, the guild explores weaving and fiber-related topics. Frances Irwin Handweavers were the recipients of a MAFA grant that enabled an exploration of “Linen: the Journey from Seed to Cloth.” Founded in 1972, we are celebrating our 50th anniversary this year (2022-23).
