The DCWS Guild members
have been busy out and about in the Community this summer.
We were
invited to the Deep Cove School’s 100thAnniversary the last week in June. It was fun to see the faces of
the children as they participated in demonstrations of Carding, Drop
Spindle, Spinning Wheel, Inkle Loom, Table Looms, Needle Felting and
making Rope. We were a tired group after repeating the demos to
several classes from Kindergarten to Grade 5.
Saturday July 20th
a few of our members could be seen at the Heritage Fair in Pioneer
Park. A nice sunny day brought lots of people out to see
demonstrations of the carder, drop spindle and spinning wheels.
Spinning with dog hair
is always a good conversation starter.
A ‘Spin Off ‘
group of the DCWS meets regularly outside the CACSP Art Gallery at
Tulista Park on Tuesdays (10-12). There are always people stopping
to see the wheels spinning and chat with our colourful group. Drop
by and see what we are up to. Don’t Spin? Bring your knitting and
join us for the morning.
