Welcome to the Hand Weavers and Spinners Guild of NSW Inc
The next guild meeting will be held from 1:30pm in the church hall behind St Paul's, 205 Burwood Road, Burwood, Sydney on Saturday, April 28, 2012.
Chris Molesworth was introduced to Danish cross stitch in the late 1970s at Stadia Handcrafts in Paddington, Sydney. She loved the simplicity of the designs and the organic colours of the flower thread. The wonderfully realistic effect and detailed images created with thread on linen was fascinating. Over the years, she has added buttons, charms, beads, metallic threads to various embroidery stitches on different surfaces to produce interesting effects.
The April meeting will be simulcast and recorded, so that it can be viewed by any member wherever they happen to be. To try out this way of joining the meeting on your computer, contact Ann Jackson.
April Mini Workshop
Spin-in Bring some fibre and your spinning wheel/spindle or borrow one from the Guild. There are some interesting fibres in the Yarn Store to buy and try.
Mini workshops start at 11:00am in the small hall below the Guild rooms. There is a participation fee of $3 and sometimes a materials fee. If you have any ideas for minis contact Kris Supierz, at the Guild.
Classes
If you've always wanted to try spinning or weaving, but have been putting it off, the Guild has regular classes.
