The Desert Sage Spinners and Weavers have changed their name to the Desert Sage Fibre Arts Guild. The decision was made at the June meeting of the Guild and reflects some of the changes in the Guild since it began almost 50 years ago. The new name embraces the wide variety of fibre arts and crafts practiced by members. Though the majority still spin and weave, many members also hook, felt, dye, crochet, knit and engage in a wide range of highly creative and skilled fibre arts.
But that’s not all that’s new at the Desert Sage Guild. A new website, filled with photos and information about the Guild’s activities, has been launched at https//desertsageguild.ca. The new website reflects the Guild’s creative aims, objectives and activities including a History section on the Guild’s almost 50 years of being involved in the fibre arts and crafts.
Working with fibre such as wool, silk, cotton, linen, bamboo and a host of others both natural and synthetic, the Guild’s current membership includes over 65 artists and crafters from the South Okanagan and Similkameen.
The Guild has a new name, a new website but also a new email address. Here’s the Guild’s new info:
