Avon Guild of
Spinners, Weavers and Dyers

Welcome to the Avon Guild

The next Guild meeting is on

Saturday 7th November 2026

The next meeting is a week earlier than usual as the Bowls Pavilion is in use.

There will be a workshop on Eco-dyeing using mordant, silk and leaves. Please let the secretary know if you wish to take part as numbers will be limited. Materials will be providing but if would be helpful if people could bring some leaves.

If time permits we will also look at how to read warping plans for weaving.

The brochure for the Associations Summer School has been published. So please look at your emails.
