Hand to HandHand to Hand    

WARP is looking to expand its networking mission of making connections between textile artisans worldwide and promoting positive social change.  The idea behind the Hand to Hand initiative is to link fiber-centered organizations both here and abroad for their mutual benefit and support, expanding the concept of sister memberships to foster more personalized and deeper relationships between international groups. 
Through Hand to Hand, weaving, knitting or basketry guilds can sponsor a textile cooperative in need to establish communication and provide mutual help and support.  In order to participate, at least one member of the sponsoring guild must be a WARP member.    
If you know of an international textile arts group that could benefit from connecting through a WARP pairing, please send complete contact information to info@weavearealpeace.org, including group name, contact name, mailing address, email address, phone, and web site. A sentence or two about the group would be helpful.
Finally, we will feature these Hand to Hand connections in the WARP Newsletter, keeping you informed and inspired by members and their international partners.

Thank you for your continuing involvement and support.
