LOCAL WEBSITES
South Africa's oldest guild - founded more than half a century ago. Our aim is to encourage and promote the enduring and very satisfying crafts of weaving, spinning, knitting, felting and dyeing through the enthusiastic participation of our members. And in sharing a common interest, we break down communication barriers between generations, gender and differing cultures. We’re a community dedicated to the fibre arts, and the process of transforming raw materials into beautiful, functional things.
We believe that crafted, handmade items give enduring satisfaction to those who make them and those who use them.
