Our Mission
The mission of the Duluth Fiber Guild (DFG) is to support and promote an understanding and appreciation of the fiber arts and also to support the education and development of individual creative potential.
Overview & History
In 1973, a few interested fiber artists in the Duluth, Minnesota area formed the Duluth Fiber Handcrafters Guild (DFHG). Since then, the membership has grown to about 160 members. In 2021, our name changed to Duluth Fiber Guild (DFG) in conjunction with our application for non-profit status. Read the DFHG History.
