Ukraine Relief Fundraising

Portland Handweavers Guild will hold a fundraiser at Gathering of the Guilds for Mercy Corps humanitarian relief in Ukraine. 

Ukraine Braid by Rosalie Neilson


For PHG members who would like to participate:

  1. Let the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine inspire you to make something. Downloadable patterns and books from Etsy sellers in Ukraine are a good source for ideas. Ukrainian artists on Etsy sell patterns for band weaving, bead weaving, knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, and more. Janis has a list of some relevant Etsy shops in Ukraine.
  2. If you plan to use a pattern, check that it is not restricted to personal use.
  3. Create the item.
  4. Make a tag that explains your inspiration. If it’s based on a purchase on Etsy, include the name of the author and a link to their Etsy shop.
  5. Determine a price for the item. This should be at least what you would charge if selling it yourself.
  6. Provide the item to PHG to sell at Gathering of the Guilds.  All of the purchase price, less credit card fees, will go to Mercy Corps.
  7. Unsold items will be returned to artists.

Contact Janis Johnson for more information.
