Established to promote hand weaving throughout New Hampshire, the Weavers Guild now has more than 150 members. The New Hampshire Weavers Guild is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to an appreciation of weaving and textile arts.

Susan McGehee weaves with wire using traditional weaving techniques and patterns to create contemporary wall hangings. Pieces range from 2 to 24 inches and can be as long as 40 feet. McGehee also weaves Kimonos from bronze or stainless steel screening, embellishing them with scraps of wire, electronic odds and ends, and a variety of found objects. Measuring 12 inches by 12 inches to almost life size, the pieces have a look and feel of previous centuries.
