ABOUT US
Education is a central mission of our Guild and remains one of our most valued functions.
For members seeking to refine existing skills or explore new techniques, the Guild sponsors a variety of workshops throughout the year. These programs may include spinning, dyeing with both natural and synthetic products, felt-making, weaving, fiber animal care, knitting, and fiber preservation. We also regularly offer instruction in specialized techniques related to knitting, spinning, and weaving.
The Guild maintains an extensive library featuring books and periodicals focused on fibers, dyeing processes, and techniques for spinning, weaving, and knitting. As many older publications in these areas are increasingly difficult to obtain, we gratefully accept donations that enhance and preserve this valuable resource.
In addition, the Guild owns spinning and weaving equipment available to members for rent at a nominal monthly fee. This service provides emerging fiber artists the opportunity to experiment with new techniques without the significant financial investment typically required for equipment purchase.
The Guild further supports community engagement by offering spinning and weaving programs to local schools and participating in community “heritage” and “historical” events.
Our History
In 1986, twenty-three spinners and weavers from neighboring counties met to create what we now call the Susquehanna Valley Spinners & Weavers Guild.
Dedicated to learning, preserving, and promoting the art of spinning and weaving, Guild members include novices as well as those who have spent many satisfying years perfecting their skills.
Weaving, spinning, knitting, crocheting, basket-making, felting, and sewing are but a few of the interests we share.
Join our Guild and explore your interests, or just share in the fellowship of our monthly meetings!
