Meetings and Programs
General Meetings
The Guild's season runs from September through May with most meetings scheduled for the fourth Wednesday of the month. General meetings serve as a forum for guest speakers who present a spectrum of programs. We have hosted nationally prominent spinners, weavers and basket makers, museum and gallery curators, textile professors and producers of specialty fibers. With their enthusiasm for their work, they both inspire and inform our members.
General meetings are free and open to the public, and visitors are welcome. Guild meetings are held in the Medford Leas Fiber Arts Room, Medford, NJ (directions to Medford Leas and the Fiber Arts Room), beginning at 7:00 p.m., unless otherwise announced. The Weavers' Study Group follows the General Meeting. See the Weavers' page and Spinners' page for information on specific study group sessions.

Demonstrations/Special Events
Demonstrations
Throughout the year our members demonstrate at area craft fairs, festivals, schools and historic sites. This is a time for the public to meet guild members and see first hand how we practice our crafts. Interested visitors of all ages learn from the visual and tactile teaching exhibits about spinning, weaving and dyeing, and can try their hands at weaving on a sample loom or spinning on a wheel or drop spindle.
We are committed to educating the public about fiber arts and welcome opportunities to demonstrate and answer questions. Please contact us if your group or school would like to schedule a demonstration, exhibit or talk: mail@sjgsh.org
