DONATING ITEMS
Guidelines
If you have weaving and spinning equipment you would like to donate to the guild, please contact us. We consider each piece of equipment offered on an individual basis based on available space and needs of guild members in the studio. Our goal is to be able to offer both new and experienced weavers the opportunity to use looms they do not have at home, or looms they can use efficiently in a workshop environment.
