MLH Guild Exhibits

Each MLH participating guild and their members are encouraged to enter the Guild Exhibits (non- juried). This displays to our audience the extent of the various fiber talents of our members. Those feeling they are not in a guild large enough to participate, or for MLH members not belonging to a local guild, please know there is exhibit space for your entries as well. Guilds and individuals are encouraged, but not mandatory, to use this year’s theme for their guild displays. For more information regarding guild or individual displays please contact Cathy McCarthy at catmccar1@gmail.com.
