Guild Classes

The Guild classes for 2025 have finished. We run weaving, spinning, tapestry weaving, felting, crochet and knitting classes at the Guild rooms in Mt Eden throughout the year. These classes are all suitable for beginners and are taught in small groups by lovely, kind, experienced teachers, so come along and learn new skills and techniques that will spark your creativity. Keep an eye on the website for updates about our programme for 2026. We would love to see you at our classes.
