MEETINGS
SUNSHINE COAST SPINNERS & WEAVERS GUILD
Our guild began with a focus on the arts of spinning and weaving. Over the years member’s interests expanded to include many more of the fibre arts – knitting, dying and felting being some. If it is fibre-related, there is probably a guild member exploring and creating in that realm. Join us!
Our meetings offer time for socializing, library access, a guest speaker or program, a business meeting and Show and Tell, when members share their latest fibre arts creation or learning. Bring your lunch.
