The Alabama Craft Guild exists to inspire connection, cooperation, and the exchange of knowledge among Alabama artisans and all who value hand-made craft, working together to preserve and promote fine and traditional craft in Alabama.

We seeks to foster a broad appreciation for both historic and contemporary craft practices while supporting their continued preservation. Through our efforts, ACG encourages artisans to explore creative, personally expressive design using both traditional and modern craft media.

We emphasize the importance of recognizing craft not only for its functional use but also for its aesthetic significance. By promoting high standards of design and craftsmanship, ACG supports ongoing growth, skill development, and artistic excellence within the craft community.

The 2026 Project Threadways Symposium explores the power of making through the theme of Regeneration.

Presentations, workshops, and exhibitions center cotton, from soil to shelf to symbol—who grows it, how it is nurtured, who benefits in the global marketplace, and its generational legacy.

Speakers explore power and representation in the supply chain, connect craft and culture, and showcase pioneers restoring health and humanity to the world’s most ubiquitous fiber.

From raw material to finished goods, we seek to understand the impact of textiles on our community, nation, and world.

In partnership with Alabama Chanin and The School of Making, we connect people, places, and materials through design, making, and education—with cultural heritage, craft preservation, and creative placemaking at the core of our work.
