About UsThe Atlantic Spinners and Handweavers (ASH) was established by a group of local weavers in 1970 and provides the opportunity for weavers, spinners and dyers living in the Halifax area and beyond, to meet in a social atmosphere, to exchange information, learn new techniques and methods and share their interests. We meet on the second Saturday of the month at Scott Manor House, 15 Fort Sackville Road, Bedford 9:30 - 11:30am. In June we share food and socialize at a potluck at a members home. Our Hands On meetings and Fibre Days are also held at Scott Manor House. Visitors and new members are always welcome! Brochure |
