Very exciting news has reached us at Glamorgan Guild! Michelle Griffiths the World Shibori Network representative for UK/Ireland is opening a new gallery based in the Model House in Llantrisant. The Resist Gallery Studio promises to be an exciting development with exhibitions on shibori/tie-dye, batik, ikat, cyanotype resists and eco-resist printing. Not to mention the workshop programme under development, reference library, talks, lectures and much much more! We are very pleased to have been given the opportunity to display our work during the opening weekend 30th June - 1st July and also do demonstrations - along with other exhibitors from the world of textiles! We look forward to seeing you there!

Our next meeting will be at 7:30 in Kynance Hall in Dinas Powys on Thursday 14th June. This will be an  introduction to and demonstrations on Needlefelt, Maradai braids and Inkle weaving. As our July meeting is a workshop meeting - we are giving our guests and members the opportunity to learn new skills (or improve on old ones!) in June, and then, if they wish - focus on these during our workshop day in July. This should be an interesting evening as members of the guild are presenting - here is the opportunity to pick their brains about their knowledge and experience of each craft! All are welcome. Please contact us at glamorganguildwsd@gmail.com if you have any queries. We look forward to seeing you there! Also - for members who have been busy creating their exhibitions rings - don't forget to bring them along!
