CELEBRATING 50 YEARS!!!
SHUTTLEBUG is a guild of handweavers and spinners and we meet in the Greenwood Community Centre. We have monthly meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 1:00pm. The monthly meetings are followed by a short programme or presentation on various topics. We also hold several workshops throughout the year. These are usually held at the weekend.
We also have monthly spinning sessions which occur on the last Monday of each month at 10:00am. We welcome new members and membership entitles you to borrow books and equipment from the guild. The yearly membership cost is $50.00.
Members meet on most Mondays to weave starting around 10:00am. We have a variety of looms ranging from table looms, 4 and 8 shaft looms and a 60" and 100" loom. The majority of looms have warps already set to weave or there is a loom for individual projects which you can arrange to use. You can sign up for any of the pre-warped projects. We can also arrange for lessons for members who are beginner weavers. There are many experienced weavers who are very happy to offer assistance when needed.
Each year we have the President's Challenge. Members show and share their projects at the June meeting. This year's challenge is to make an item in any medium which reflects your cultural background.
