Every year, the Portland Handweavers Guild sponsors sales to promote and support the work of professional weavers and other textile artists and to educate the public about our craft.

Our semi-annual sales are held at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon, in the Spring, and at the Pendelton Store, in Milwaukie, OR, in November. The public is invited to these fun events featuring many Northwest weavers and fiber artists plus fashion shows, weaving and spinning demonstrations, and hands-on activities for adults and children.

For PHG members wishing to participate in the sale, booth fees and commissions will vary based on booth size and the number of volunteer hours the seller chooses to contribute. For more information, contact Kathy Sengenberger or Diane McKinnon
