The Burr House Spinners and Weavers guild arose from the enthusiasm of the
weaving and spinning students of the Burr House Pioneer Craft classes.
Together with the
Hill Potters' Guild
we share the beautiful Guild Hall for our meetings and studios.

The historic building of Burr House is a home to the Art and Craft Gallery - which
presents fine arts and crafts by local artists - and the Tea Room.

Membership in the guild is open to anyone interested in the crafts of weaving and/or spinning.
For those who want to learn the wonderful art of weaving and spinning or improve their skills,
classes are offered on an ongoing basis.
