november meeting



at our november meeting (4/11/08) we were treated to a complete demo of weaving with a four-shafted loom by the ever-entertaining rosemary from the ulster folk and transport museum. she ran through everything from winding the weft to threading the loom and at the end we were all invited to do a little weaving ourselves. so informative!
i'm already looking forward to the rest of rosemary's demos later on in the season.

autumn workshop

Our first workshop was on dyeing with natural dyes taken by Debbie from DT Craft & Design. As her blog already covers it in detail....... here's the link to day one and day two.

welcome

Welcome to the blog for the Ulster Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers. Hopefully this will become a place for those who are interested in becoming members and for those who are already members, to find out what the guild has been up to and is planning on doing.
