Open Day

Yesterday was our annual guild Open Day. We were pleased to welcome more than 40 visitors and friends to see our exhibition of work and watch demonstrations of spinning, dyeing, weaving and carding. Many of you had a go at some of our crafts and we hope you enjoyed it and would welcome any new members into our group. Lots of you enjoyed home made cakes and drinks and bought items for sale from our sales table.

This is always a great day for us to show off what we do and to chat about our crafts. Some of us made entries for our annual guild competition, which, this year was entitled 'Hand Coverings'. Everyone who came was invited to vote for their 3 favourites and this year the competition was won by Rachel, with Gemma and Sarah coming second and third. Do look at the photos below to see our entries and winners.

​It was a tiring day for our organisers and members, so thank you to everyone who helped in so many different ways.
