The Southern California Handweavers' Guild is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization founded in 1946. We generally meet on the second Saturday of the month at Valley Presbyterian Hospital's Health Education Center in Van Nuys (see map below). Activities include workshops, lectures, study groups, and field trips. We have a large library of books on weaving and fiber arts and a selection of looms that members may rent. Regular monthly meetings are open to the public and free of charge.

The premise is that what thought is changes as the tools, media, and infrastructures we use when we think changes, and text is an important component of this. Text is one of our most fundamental such tools, and right now it is being transformed, by artificial intelligence on one side and by augmented and extended reality environments on the other. As these changes accelerate, the question of what text can — and should — become is more urgent than it has ever been.
