Durham Guild of Spinners, Weavers & Dyers
Our Guild exists to provide a sociable environment for members to practise their skills , learn new skills and share skills with each other and with anyone interested in learning.
We are affiliated to the national Association of Guilds of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, which produces a quarterly Journal and organises a biennial Summer School and National Exhibition.
We regularly have informal or formal workshops and demonstrate skills in public at craft fairs, heritage centres, etc.
The Guild has spinning and weaving equipment for loan to members so that they can try out new skills before investing in equipment. We also have an extensive library of textile related books and magazines.
Meetings are generally held on the first Saturdays of each month from 10.00 to 16.00 at St. Oswald’s Institute, Church St, Durham DH1 3DQ.
