Saturday's Silk Workshop is ON!

Hi there folks,

Silk workshop will go ahead as planned this Saturday. Liz will advise and it will operate as an in-house skill share.
Some materials will incur an extra cost ie scarves, stuff that belongs to Liz etc.
Please bring notebook, pencil, scissors and a shared lunch.
Optional but helpful - for drying silk scarves etc - a hair dryer!
old towel
rubber-gloves

See you at 10am.
Debb.

Reminder about our Exhibition

The Autumn exhibition, which was planned for the Waterfront Museum, has had to be moved. Liz, Gill and Nell went to the Swansea Grand Theatre to evaluate their exhibition space.

We have booked the White Room from 22nd September until the 4th October.

All items for this exhibition MUST be with the Guild by the end of August and all must be clearly labelled as regards fibre content (Trading Standards), washing instructions, who made it and how, and either marked not for sale, or with a price.

We can access the Grand’s card machine but note that they will take 20% commission, so please reflect this in your prices.

We will be able to lock away our wheels etc at the end of each day and I hope we can provide opportunities for our visitors to have a go at spinning and weaving.

What did you do over Easter break?

Isabel wasn't idle while in Plymouth. (Not that she ever is!) She has knitted a marvellous sweater for the wool box and here it is, its even better in the wool as it were.
Thanks very much Isabel.

but was upstaged by a very glamorous Norma
with a new 'do!
Go for it Norma!


Marj was back, apparently making wedding apparel was keeping her away from us, but the wedding's over and we are waiting for the photos now! I can't wait to see those dresses.

As an aside "Good-luck" with the op Clive, I'm sure you'll be well enough to go hang-gliding over the Brecons in a triloom-powered Skoda, VERY SOON!

Great to see you all back, but don't forget the workshop.

Saturday Workshop 19th April - Silk dyeing-see what's on! Let Nell or Eirian know if you're coming times as usual.

More News on triangular loom please! Was that draft a tease. Can you move a big one (loom) when its warped or part woven, not sure what the term is?
