Social time 9-10am, business meeting starts at 10am. Program: Combo Spinning & Fiber Swap Our May program will be all about Combo Spinning — what defines a combo spin, different techniques that can be used to achieve different looks in your combo yarn, and some ideas for finished products. Combo spinning is just the practice of combining two or more different colorways and/or fibers together, resulting in a new blend of your own.  More info in the newsletter!

Meetings:

Monthly guild meetings are held from 10 am to 1 pm on the 4th Saturday of each month except December. Doors open at 9:00 am. We meet at:

St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church
11555 National Blvd
Los Angeles CA 90064

Meetings include a short informational program, study groups focused on spinning techniques, information on members’ projects, and informal spinning. We occasionally have guest vendors attend.

Workshops:

The guild periodically hosts workshops led by members or guest instructors. Guild members receive priority registration for workshops, with remaining open seats available to non-members.

Demonstrations:

As part of our mission to educate the Greater Los Angeles area residents on the art of spinning, we perform spinning demonstrations at public events throughout the year. Our demonstrations consist of members showing spinning on spindles or spinning wheels, and may include hands-on instruction. Many events are free to the public.

Fiber Events:

We are fortunate to have many fiber arts events in the Greater Los Angeles area throughout the year. GLASG often has a booth or demonstration onsite at these events, and if not, many of our members are in attendance.
