Membership is currently £16 per annum, £20 for joint membership, £5 junior and £8 postal. There is a £1 meeting fee for members and £2.50 for visitors.
The Guild has a library and some equipment that members can borrow.
My first introduction to the world of spinning, weaving and dyeing came when I attended a one day course on natural dyeing organised by the Warwickshire Museum service.
This led me to experiment with the plants growing in my own garden and then to grow plants especially for dyeing. I soon ran out of undyed yarn and so my husband bought me a drop spindle and a small bag of fleece for my first attempt at spinning.
At a summer demonstration at a local show, I met some Stratford-upon-Avon Guild members and was invited along to the next meeting. I also enrolled at Leamington College for a part-time spinning and weaving course. That was the start of an interesting hobby which is stimulating and in which there is always something new to learn or improve. I have also got to know a lovely group of people and made lots of friends!
