South Jersey Guild of Spinners and Handweavers

South Jersey Guild of Spinners and Handweavers All members receive our periodic newsletter Loose Ends, which covers upcoming events, programs, and other items of interest.

The South Jersey Guild of Spinners & Handweavers was formed in 1975 to promote fine craftsmanship and excellence in the fiber arts and to provide its members with educational opportunities in pursuit of these goals. Through guest speakers and study groups we explore the many applications of spinning, dyeing, and handweaving, including ethnic, historical and contemporary designs, basketry, and other fiber arts. Our active membership is concentrated in Camden and Burlington Counties in Southern New Jersey, but extends south into parts of Gloucester County, east to the Jersey Shore, and west to the Philadelphia area. The greatest benefit of belonging to a weaving or spinning guild is the tangible and substantial reward of increased creativity and productivity flowing from the regular contact with fellow artists and craftsmen. Our Guild maintains membership in the Mid-Atlantic Fiber Association (MAFA), an organization of nearly 60 fiber guilds from New York to North Carolina. Our Guild membership in MAFA entitles each of our members to receive the MAFA newsletter via its website: www.mafafiber.org, and to attend MAFA's biennial conferences. All Guild members have access to our library of books and videotapes, which cover a wide range of spinning and weaving topics.

A message from our fearless leader, Susan Makuka: Rock Day will be January 4, 2014 from 10:00-4:00. Bring a covered dish and a small fiber related gift for an exchange. I hope everyone from the guild can make this and bring a friend or two.

We will be celebrating Rock Day, aka, St. Distaff's Day, at the Mount Holly Library & Lyceum, located at 307 High St., Mount Holly, NJ 08060. We look forward to you joining us for a great time!
