Handicrafts Guild

TSpindles and Woolhe Handicrafts Guild is for members who enjoy crafts such as knitting, sewing, quilting, and other various hand made craft projects. Inweorces, meaning “indoor work”, is the focus of this guild and so we study and practice the traditional cræft of the hearth and home. By learning the skills to make things on your own, as our ancestors did, you can better emphasize the ethic of bisignes. Membership is open to any gesiþ.

Mission Statement: 

The purpose of the Inweorc Gildscipe is to foster the knowledge and practice of traditional household crafts including, but not limited to; spinning, weaving, embroidery, soap making, candle making, etc.
