Outreach:
Saturday Guild helps to staff a weaving studio in facilities provided by the Southern Oregon Historical Society, and located in historic Jacksonville, OR. In the studio we have exhibits of weaving, and looms set up for children and adults to weave on, giving many their first experience with a loom. While weavers work on floor looms and tapestry looms; there are also spinners with their spinning wheels. The studio is open on Saturdays, Memorial Day weekend through mid-December .
