Call for Auction Donations
We will be closing out the 2023-24 year with our traditional auction. Are you looking to de-stash some skeins, fibre, tools, and other items to make room for more? So are your fellow Guild members! Please list your items in the spreadsheet here, or email Mike with the description and approximate value. He will happily update the spreadsheet for you. And if you don’t have anything to donate but are interested in seeing what might be on offer, check out the spreadsheet!
Please let us know what you are offering by June 10, 2024.

You can bring your donated items to The Meeting House at 7 pm on Wednesday, 12th, so they can be organized before the auction opens at 7:30.

Members are welcome to bring guests to the Auction. Payment can be by cash, cheque, or e-transfer.

    The TGSW will be at Family Day at Riverdale Farm with weaving and spinning demonstrations and hands-on activities again this year from 9-5 in the Meeting House! We hope to see you there. The Guild will be demonstrating spinning and weaving in the Meeting house from 10-3.

    Every year the Guild volunteers at the Farm to demonstrate fibre preparation, spinning and weaving, as well as encourage vistors to try their hand at these. We ask members to sign up for a morning shift (9:30 - 12:30), an afternoon shift (12:15 - 3:30), or both! Please check out the sign-up sheet to see what volunteer roles we’re trying to fill. Don’t think that you have to be an expert – even absolute beginners can be valuable volunteers at the event, and will learn a great deal in the process

    Demonstrating the journey from fleece to fabric is very rewarding. Not only is it a great way to interact with the public and educate, it is also a tremendous way to get to know fellow Guild members better.

    This is also an opportunity to show our work. Mike will be organizing a display of member projects and educational material. Please feel free to bring garments you made, skeins you spun, things you dyed, or other textiles to add to our display. Please don't worry that your pieces aren't "up to par".  While textiles made with highly skilled hands are awe-inspiring, everyone is on their own path. For the public, seeing a range of beauty from all skill levels makes the Guild more accessible to those who are newer to our crafts and are considering joining and further pursuing their textile adventures.
