Tuesday Weavers
Date/Time: Tuesdays, 9:30 AM – noon
Location: Redwood City
This group is open to everyone. The primary focus of our group is rigid heddle looms but any portable project is welcome. Bring your own portable fiber project; lend a hand or get a hand in winding on a fresh warp; try out various hand manipulated weaving techniques. The meeting location is also home to the guild’s library.

Spinning Group
Location: Menlo Park, CA
Date/Time: Mondays from 7:30 – 10 PM
This group is open to all spinners. We only have one rule — this is not a teaching class. Novice spinners are welcome, but if we are teaching, it takes away our own spinning time. We talk about spinning and we share techniques; so bring your spinning problems. We all learn a lot as we go along. Spinning improves with practice; this is a chance to build your skills.
