Foundation Certificate in Spinning

LATEST!
A Guild group has been formed; this group of members will work together on their foundation certificate during 2018-19. They plan on getting together at every meeting to chat about progress and learn together. Please email the Guild secretary (click here) if you require further information.

The Foundation Certificate in Spinning has been created by the Association to enable those who are new to spinning and others who wish to get a better understanding of this craft.
