Gwynedd Guild has a membership of 48 today, coming from Anglesey, parts of Gwynedd and Conwy. We celebrate our 50th anniversary this year.
It is a group of mixed abilities and ages, with some very skilled members who are always very helpful to both our newer members, and with good advice to those who have been with our guild for much longer, and with newer members coming from other textile specialties.
We have a full programme, to include all elements of Weaving, Spinning and Dyeing.
Our guild gets invited to many shows to demonstrate our skills and display our work, these include The Anglesey Show, Vintage Rally, Ddraig Beats, Holyhead Heritage Fair, Cadnant Gardens Civic Society Garden Party, Cemaes Carnival and other odd days such as Spin in Public at Oriel Mon. At these shows, we also try to have space for a ‘have a go’ table for both adults and children, which is always great fun. This may involve peg loom weaving, spindle spinning, tapestry weaving, wet felting, etc.
Our programme, includes a dedicated dye day every September, participating in the All Wales Challenge every 2 years, holding a Friendship Day .
New members are always warmly welcomed.
