Our members co
me from a wide area across Warwickshire and beyond, including Rugby, Birmingham, Coventry, Leamington Spa, Knowle, Banbury, Solihull and, of course, Stratford-upon-Avon. As well as our three core crafts, members possess a variety of allied skills and interests, from knitting and crochet to braid making and growing natural dye plants. We love to pass on our knowledge and, as a guild, we try to inspire each other to continually expand our skills and knowledge. You may see guild members out and about demonstrating at local events and venues. You may also have seen some of our work on display around the town, for example the Tapestries at Stratford Hospital or the Shipston tapestry.
