The Portland Handweavers Guild (PHG) has promoted excellence in handweaving, spinning and other fiber arts for over 75 years.

From Angela Ehrig's childhood in Germany, where sh

From Angela Ehrig's childhood in Germany, where she watched her mother recreate Chanel costumes, to her current studio in Seattle’s Crown Hill neighborhood, Angela says her journey in fashion has been one of constant learning. (Her business name “Engayla” reflects the German pronunciation of her name, Angela)

She learned garment construction and detail from her mother, then had formal sewing classes in Germany. She moved to the U.S. in the 1990s, honing her skills through design and pattern-making courses in Seattle. Today, she focuses on creating garments that blend her European training with the creative freedom she has found in America, designing pieces that emphasize thoughtful construction, material selection, and wearability, letting fabrics guide the process. Her work combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary styles to create unique, handcrafted clothing.

You can see Angela’s wearable art and the art of numerous creatives at this year’s upcoming @gatheringoftheguilds event! Please join us for 3 days of live demonstrations and hands-on activities; you can find beautiful work for sale by over 350 artists from 9 Northwest guilds. As always, admission is FREE!

The Portland Handweavers Guild has 4 Members in the Celebration of Creativity Fine Art Exhibit and Sale! Yowza!!

Laura Bautista will have lots of hand woven pillows in many color combos - plus lots of her hand woven carpets - at the upcoming Celebration of Creativity Sale. You will definitely want to check these out!! 4th Generation Zapotec Weaver Laura creates "one of a kind" woven pillows and carpets, some with traditional designs and others with a more "Bauhaus" look.

I love the way she and Francisco "sign" their weavings - with the 4 dots, signifying they are the 4th generation in their family of weavers. Super Cool!
