The objectives of the Association are the preservation and
improvement of the craftsmanship in hand weaving, spinning and
dyeing for the benefit of the public and the promotion of public
education in such craftsmanship.
Membership of the Association is open to any Guild who can show that it
subscribes to the aims of the Association and is not a commercial or profit making body.
Why not join your local guild and meet other enthusiastic members
who practise these and allied crafts such as felt making and
braid making.
There is a Certificate of Achievement in spinning, weaving or
dyeing for those members who wish to further their skills and
knowledge in these areas. Assessors are drawn from those leading in these fields.
