Meetings
and Programs
General
Meetings
The Guild's
season runs from September through May with most meetings scheduled for the
fourth Wednesday of the month. General meetings serve as a forum for guest
speakers who present a spectrum of programs. We have hosted nationally
prominent spinners, weavers and basket makers, museum and gallery curators,
textile professors and producers of specialty fibers. With their enthusiasm
for their work, they both inspire and inform our members. General meetings are free and
open to the public, and visitors are welcome. Guild meetings are held in the
Medford Leas Fiber Arts Room, Medford, NJ (directions to Medford
Leas and the Fiber Arts Room),
beginning at 7:00 pm, unless otherwise announced. This year, the Wednesday evening
programs will alternate each month between Weavers’ and Spinners’ Study Group
projects and presentations. See the Weavers' page
and Spinners' page for information on specific
study group sessions. For more information, contact us
at: mail@sjgsh.org

Contact Nancy
Turner for more information. Demonstrations/Special Events
Throughout the year our members
demonstrate at area craft fairs, festivals, schools and historic sites. This
is a time for the public to meet Guild members and see firsthand how we
practice our crafts. Interested visitors of all ages learn from the visual
and tactile teaching exhibits about spinning, weaving and dyeing, and can try
their hands at weaving on a sample loom or spinning on a wheel or drop
spindle. We
are committed to educating the public about fiber arts and welcome
opportunities to demonstrate and answer questions. Please contact us if your group
or school would like to schedule a demonstration, exhibit or talk: mail@sjgsh.org
