Handweavers and Spinners Guild of Victoria

The Guild seeks to help and encourage their members to increase their knowledge, understanding and skills in these crafts through discussion, demonstration, exhibition, teaching and the provision of resource materials.

Our premises at 655 Nicholson St, Carlton North are open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 3pm. You can contact the guild on +61 3 9387 9222 or by email at info@hwsgv.org.au

We have a wonderful gallery filled with items hand-crafted by guild members. Our craft outlet stocks a very broad range of supplies, including fleeces, fibres, books, dyes and equipment. All Ashford equipment can also be bought through the craft outlet. Our library of over 2000 items is an incredible resource for the use of members. The exhibition space is available to groups and individuals interested in showcasing their skills.

Membership of the guild gives many benefits, including our monthly newsletter, Treadles, access to borrowing from the library, discounts on classes, workshops and courses, access to the gallery for sale of articles and skeins and the opportunity to interact with like-minded inspirational people.
