Guild HistoryOur guild was first established in 1970 as the Atlantic Society of Handweavers. Since then we have supported the crafts of weaving, spinning, dyeing and other fibre arts throughout Nova Scotia through a variety of activities including our monthly meetings, programs, hands-on, fibre days, workshops, demonstrations, exhibits and sales. | Alicia Marr, Joyce Chown, Elfriede Budgey, Carol Duffus
