Open Day 2023

With the uncertainty of organising another Exhibition in Lewes for the next couple of years we decided to showcase our work and skills with an Open Day. We were lucky that our normal September meeting fell on the same day as Spin-in-Public…

2019 Exhibition

The 2019 exhibition had Captivating Colour as the theme. Members dyed and spun silk to make woven scarves which were raffled at the exhibition. This exhibition was a showcase for items made by our members. Members are also able to sell all kinds of woven, spun and dyed items. Any technique is welcome as long as one of the three main crafts has been included. There are lots of trade stands selling all things fibre, spinning, dyeing and weaving related and there is an opportunity to buy second hand equipment. The exhibition also includes demonstrations on various Guild skills.

The exhibition included a special exhibit of natural dyeing and members were urged to provide seeds, plants and examples of plant-dyed spun yarn.

Also new to the 2019 exhibition was a display of small cases which could be used for glasses, mobile phones or ipads. They were woven, felted, dyed or knitted from handspun yarn, and embodied the exhibition theme of Captivating Colour.

Members also sold other cases they had made on the sales table.
