DAMASCUS – Woodland Weavers and Spinners Guild will be meeting Saturday, April 26, at the Damascus Community Center, Conklin Hill Road, Damascus, PA. The spinning group meets at 9 am, with a social hour to follow at 10. Our business meeting begins at 11am, with a break for lunch at 12pm. Programs start at 1pm.

At our April meeting, (our first meeting of the year) members will be showcasing various spinning and weaving projects that they worked on over the winter. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in fiber arts to observe and possibly get involved in spinning or weaving. All are welcome to attend, if only to watch how things are done. We will be setting up programs for the year, and if you’d like to join and would like input into what we will present, please join us. We will also be having a pot luck lunch: bring a dish to share.

WWSG is a teaching guild servicing Sullivan and Wayne counties, whose purpose is to share their knowledge of spinning and weaving all kinds of fiber, with programs at each meeting to teach these skills, as well as other types of fiber arts such as natural dyeing, felting, and care and use of spinning and weaving appliances. 

Dues for the guild are $20 for the year, and $30 for a family membership. Membership is open to all ages and skill levels, for anyone who wants to learn these fiber arts, and the guild has some materials (such as a spinning wheel and several types of weaving looms, and other adjunct pieces) available for members to borrow while they learn. We have study groups that focus on spinning, weaving, and knitting, with those meetings held separately from the general meetings. 

Meetings are held on the third Saturday of the month, April through November.

We welcome visitors and any who want to learn about fiber arts. For further information, please call Lisa at 845-866-4354.
