The charity promotes excellent craftsmanship in weaving, spinning and dying. We do this through holding meetings, workshops, skill sharing sessions, and (less frequently than annually) holding exhibitions. We are primarily active in the West of Scotland, but also participate in the wider activities of the Association of Guilds of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, which is a national organisation to which we’re affiliated.

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: To encourage and maintain integrity and excellence of craftmanship in hand weaving, spinning and dyeing. To foster a sense of beauty of material, texture, colour and design. To provide opportunities for the interchange of information, for enlarging knowledge at workshops, exhibitions, lectures, and library facilities.
