Tzouhalem Spinners and Weavers Guild

Mailing Address:  Box 676, Duncan, BC  V9L 3Y1

The guild, established in 1973, currently has over 60 members.  Our purpose is to:

1. Encourage and promote spinning, weaving and associated fibre arts as a medium of self-expression, fulfillment and satisfaction.
2. Encourage closer fraternal relationship with people having these interests in the Duncan and surrounding areas.

The guild hosts Distaff Day in January, which is a time for spinners from Vancouver Island and the surrounding islands to come together to spin.  We are very active in both the Cowichan Fleece & Fibre Fair (in the fall), and the Cowichan Exhibition (in September).   We offer classes in beginning spinning twice a year. 
The Tzouhalem Spinners and Weavers Guild meets on the second Tuesday of the month from 10am to 2pm.  We have a business meeting, sometimes a guild program, and show and tell. We also have two informal gatherings ("Textile Days") a month, one on the fourth Tuesday and one on the last Saturday of the month.  Our Textile Days are held in members’ homes.  This is a time for sharing ideas and projects as well as spinning, weaving or knitting.  We also have weave study groups once or twice a year. 
One goal of the current Administrative Working Group is to provide at least one weaving workshop for newer weavers and one for experienced weavers as well as one workshop for spinners each year.
