Welcome to the home of the Nutmeg Spinners Guild! Nutmeg Spinners Guild is Connecticut’s statewide guild for handspinners. The Guild has been an active part of Connecticut’s fiber arts scene for more than 20 years. Our membership is large and diverse, coming from throughout Connecticut and nearby states.
We meet five times a year on the first Saturday of the month in October, February, April and June. In December we meet the second Saturday. Meetings usually run from about 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
June 3 Meeting
Spinning Basket Workshop
Susan Muldoon will guide us in weaving a small tool basket. Just large enough to hold our essential little tools, this basket will hang on the spinning wheel within easy reach. Susan is an artist with many talents, including basket weaving, chair caning, seat weaving, photography and more. She is an accomplished, in-demand instructor who teaches throughout the Northeast.
Participants are asked to bring scissors or clippers to cut reed. Small clamps or clips and needle nosed pliers may also be helpful. All materials will be provided and there is no material fee for this project. Non-member guests are welcome to participate for a meeting contribution of $10.00.
Directions to the church can be found here.
