CU Spinners & Weavers Guild –– Study Groups

Participation in all study group activities is open to the entire membership. The study group concept permits in-depth exploration of more narrowly focused fiber related subjects. Study group topics are suggested by the members, and their interests determine the offerings from year to year. The meeting time and place of each group changes yearly.

Please send email to cuswg@prairienet.org to get details for any of the groups listed below.
