Welcome

The Greater Columbia Fantasy Costumers Guild, GCFCG, was formed in 1982 as a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation dedicated to the study, presentation, creation, wearing, and informing people about costumes, past, present, and future. We welcome Costumers of all ages and skill level and those who appreciate the art of costuming.

GCFCG is based in Columbia, Maryland area. We serve the state of Maryland and the Washington DC metro area. We currently have members from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Washington DC.

GCFCG is the founding chapter of the International Costumers’ Guild, ICG. We proudly support the annual Costume-Con® costuming convention, a gathering of like-minded individuals who participate in the many facets of costuming.

By vote of the membership, is was decreed that the correct pronunciation of "GCFCG" is "Founders."

 So many of us will be back from Costume Con 37 with stories to tell and hopefully good news about a certain Con coming back to our neck of the woods in 2022. There will be a brief guild meeting at the beginning. If you have some WIP or any thing you have been working on feel free to bring it to share. 

It's at Dragan Rose's house, message us for the address.

I have activated the Blogs module. This gives every user a blog that they can use for their own purposes.

To create a blog entry, look in the left sidebar for Navigation. Under Add content, click on Blog entry.

Blog entries are visible to the general public by default. You can make a particular blog entry visible to only some classes of people. While you're editing a blog entry, click on the Grants tab a the top of the window. This will give you choices for narrowing visibility. (If you're confused, email me at donsakers@gmail.com.)

By the end of this workshop students will be able to sew a basic lighting circuit using up to 5 LED and have a understanding of the foundation of E-textile sewing.
