Guild Announcements

 

Guild Announcements:

The website has been redesigned to make it easier to view on phones and tablets. Here is the 2023/24 Season Schedule. 

Visit us on Facebook at Desert Sage Spinners & Weavers.


If you are new to weaving or unfamiliar with some terms, the sites Weave Structures and Plain Weave Variations will help.
I like this article on Mixing Twills for its practical learning.

Quail's Nest Studio Week - June 29th to Jul 3rd

Once again, our Guild booked a week at the Quail's Nest Studio for some intensive workshops and various personal projects.  It is a great opportunity to share knowledge and get in some visiting as members, guests or visitors drop in. I was there on Wed only to catch up and see the many dye projects in progress, a continuation from Tue! Here's a quick look into the dyeing process and the results.
