The E.P.I. Handweavers is a group of weavers who meet regularly to share ideas. Our name comes from an old and traditional term used by weavers to explain the number of threads per inch of fabric. The group was formed at the end of 1983, after an intensive workshop with weaver, Rhonda O'Meara .
Members share a love of textiles and weaving.
We meet monthly to show and discuss work. Weaving is a solitary craft and it is really helpful to be able to meet like-minded souls regularly , to share joys and discuss problems. We are influenced by the group but we all have individual talents and preferences. No pressure is exerted on anyone to provide quantity. First commitment is to quality and integrity.
