Programme
Our Guild has a number of opportunities for members to get together and share ideas and expertise.
- Main Guild Meeting:each months' main meeting takes place at Pearson Hall, Pearson Road, Sonning. They vary in focus or theme and full details are shown below. The Guild Library, Trading Table and Notice Board are all available at these meetings which often have expert speakers providing presentations with accompanying slides or actual textile examples.
- The Monday Evening Group: meets at Wokingham Methodist Church, Rose Street, Wokingham, RG40 1XS, from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm on the first Monday of every month for a general practical session of various crafts during which projects are explored and techniques shared.
- The Spinning Group:meets every Wednesday fortnight from 10:00 am to 13:00 pm in Pearson Hall. This is an excellent way to learn how to spin as the meetings are very informal and there is plenty of opportunity for one-to-one help and guidance.
- The Weaving Group: also meets in Pearson Hall, Pearson Road, Sonning but is now starting to have meetings on a monthly basis, to discuss ideas and progress on shared or individual projects. Meetings run from 10:00 am til 1:00 pm.
