📌 Sunday Spotlight: 2018’s 50th Anniversary

It’s hard not to notice the gorgeous work our members created in 2018 when you walk through the guild doors. Members were invited to create a square of their choosing and you can see just how beautifully they were collated and mounted for display!

Next time you’re at the guild, take your time to look at each individual piece — I always notice a new one every time I stop to examine them.

What do you think members will create for our 60th anniversary in 2028?

♻️👚 members at our AGM today were treated to a wonderful presentation by Meriel Chamberlin. 👚♻️

Meriel is textile scientist currently working alongside the Salvation Army in Australia’s efforts to close the circle of sustainability and repurposing textile waste with use of new machinery and purpose built AI.

During her presentation she outlined ways the technology in their Brisbane based warehouse is leading change in what can be such a wasteful industry as well as answered many questions from our members.

Thanks to Sally Wall for organising such a wonderfully informative and engaging speaker!
