The Victoria Handweavers’ and Spinners’ Guild publishes a monthly newsletter nine times a year which is only made available to guild members. The newsletter keeps members up-to-date with guild activities and upcoming events. The newsletter is published electronically and distributed by email to all guild members. Copies of the past three years of newsletters are archived on our website – Newsletter Archive – under password protection. (Members receive the password.)

The newsletter is published the second week of the month from September to November and January to June. The Guild does not publish newsletters in December, July or August.  Contributions (e.g. articles, events, photos, links of interest) are welcome and can be sent to newsletter@vhwsg.ca by the first week of each month for inclusion in that month’s newsletter.
