The Southern California Handweavers' Guild (SCHG) is an Amazon Associate.


Use this link to go to Amazon and the guild will get a commission.

For every purchase you make through an Amazon link on this site, a small percentage of the price goes to support our programs, including our library of rental looms and more than 3,000 books, DVDs, and magazines.

We get a commission on whatever you put in your cart during a trip that starts with one of our links, so if you add another book, a pair of shoes, or some household items to one of our fiber arts recommendations that also helps support the Guild. Or bookmark this page and start all your shopping by clicking the ad above.

The price you pay doesn't increase, and the author (or other seller) gets the same royalty. Nothing changes except that we get a small share of the revenue.
