Guild Disciplines

We are affiliated to the Association of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, and these disciplines are the backbone and focus of the guild.

Spinning  - spinning natural and other fibres to create a yarn

Weaving - weaving yarn and fibre to create a fabric or artwork

Dyeing - using natural or chemical dyes with fibre or fabric 

The Association hosts a Biennial Nation Exhibition and members are encouraged to submit work for consideration

The Association also holds a Summer School Week (biennial), where experienced Artists lead workshops  expanding knowledge and techniques
