Weaving & Fiber Festival (WeFF)

Fiber Fun for All Ages! Southern California Handweavers’ Guild Presents the 2025 Weaving & Fiber Festival in Culver City

The Southern California Handweavers’ Guild (SCHG) invites the public to a day of creativity, color, and craft at its annual Weaving & Fiber Festival (WeFF 2025) on Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Teen Center.

In a time when digital screens dominate our lives, WeFF 2025 offers a tactile, hands-on respite—a chance to slow down, touch fibers, spin a yarn (literally), watch a shuttle fly, and connect with a community of makers. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, materials, a gift, or simply a fresh way to engage your creativity, this festival is designed to welcome novices and experts alike.
