The Sarnia Handweavers and Spinners Guild, founded in 1962, has about 30 members. We are located in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada and have members from the Sarnia region and from nearby areas of Michigan.

Guild meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of the month from September through June.  The meetings usually include a workshop in weaving, spinning, dyeing, or basketry.  At these workshops, members share their knowledge, improve their skills, and learn new techniques.  Our Show and Tell sessions at each meeting provide an opportunity for members to share their work, to exchange ideas, and to get advice on projects.  We also look forward to meetings for the opportunity to socialize with other members.

Guild members range in skill from novice to expert.  Most members enjoy weaving and spinning as a hobby.  They make household and fashion items for personal use or as gifts for family and friends.  Visit our online gallery to see examples of our work.

Weaving and spinning equipment is available for use by guild members.  The Guild also has a reference library of books, magazines and journals.  Our monthly newsletter, The Flying Shuttle, includes instructions for workshops, guild news, upcoming events, and other items of interest.

Guild members are available to mentor beginning weavers. Learn to Weave classes, taught by guild members, are offered when numbers warrant.  

If you have an interest in weaving or spinning, or in learning to weave, you may attend a meeting as a visitor.
