We are the East Surrey Guild of Weavers Spinners and Dyers, known as Creative Fibres.
We are a small friendly group meeting every month to pursue our common interest in fibre arts.
The group was founded in August 1991 when the first members met in Dorking. At this time we were known as the Dorking Guild. To begin with, our meetings were held in the Dorking Adult Centre in Dene Street; from there we moved to the Friends Meeting House, and then on to the Scout Hut, in Ashstead. At this time, we had a change of name, (as we were no longer meeting in Dorking), and we became the East Surrey Guild. Finally, we moved our location to Headley Village Hall, where we have been meeting ever since.
Many of us are members of other societies and groups, such as Epsom Spinners and the Braiders and Lacemakers Guilds, and some of us meet in informal gatherings to pursue beading and knitting on other days of the week.
Although we are "weavers, spinners, and dyers" we encourage
all textile disciplines. Our members' interests cover a wide range of
crafts including spinning, (with spindle and wheel); weaving, (inkle,
heddle, circular); braiding (kumihimo, ply-split, finger); dyeing; felting,
(nuno); knitting (domino); crochet; embroidery; textile manipulation such
as quilting and patchwork; and paper crafts.
Does all this sound appealing?
Do come and join in on our open day, or one of our general meetings and
find out.
