Our programme is set up so that each workday has a theme and we have informal demonstrations and talks about a wide variety of crafts and skills.
Our members live in all parts of Grampian and Moray and we have had visitors from as far as Newfoundland.
If you would like to come and join in with a workday and find out more about what the Guild has to offer, please email the Guild on grampianguild@gmail.com for more information.
You can find us on Facebook, we have a page for information and a friendly informal group where we can seek help and advice from members out with meetings, show what we are making and share ideas and techniques.
Grampian Guild Of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers 
Hi, I am a beginner and have just bought a secondhand 8 shaft loom. I am very interested in joining your group and would welcome more details etc. Many thanks, Janet Kilford
Hi Janet
Thanks for your comment which I have only just noticed, please accept my apologies for the slow response.
Unfortunately our 19 February in-person workday was cancelled due to the snowy weather. Our next meeting, weather permitting, is 10.30 am -3.30 pm on 19 March which will be a weaving workshop, ideal for you, at King George V Hall, Chapel of Garioch, I suggest you wear something warm if the weather is chilly on that day. Also you will need to bring a packed lunch. Tea/coffee and biscuits are provided, but due to covid restrictions we are asking people to bring their own mug and spoon.
I am awaiting full details of the weaving day, these should be with me soon. Your best option is to join our Facebook page called Grampian Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers where we tend to post the most up to date information, and heaven forbid, if the weather takes a turn for the worst again a notice will be displayed of cancellation.
Would you like me to send you an application form, if yes, please email me at grampianguild@gmail.com. Yearly membership is £30.00 we usually meet on the third Saturday in the month 10.30-3.30 and the full address for meetings is:
King George V Hall, Chapel of Garioch, near Inverurie, AB51 5HG.
In normal times we have in-person meetings January until November and in December celebrate Christmas usually early in December as members are so busy.
We have some very keen, experienced weavers who would be delighted to shear their knowledge and you’d be made very welcome at our meetings.
We have an extensive library of books which members are allowed to borrow free of charge and we also have equipment for hire at very favourable rates.
Throughout lockdown the Guild had continued to meet on zoom and on 4 February the Guild organised a webinar on Zoom with Hilltop Katie Weston on Dyeing which was really interesting and well attended. We are hoping to continue online zoom workshops in the future.
In the summer the Guild usually organise a trip out so covid restrictions allowing, we hope to organise a trip this year.
If you have any further questions/queries please email me on the Guild’s email: grampianguild@gmail.com.
Kind regards,
Lindsey Dickens
Secretary
