Membership in WGRI
Join the Weavers Guild of Rhode Island
The Mission of WGRI is to study and promote the arts of hand weaving, spinning, dyeing and related activities, and to educate the membership and general public in these arts through meetings, workshops, demonstrations and exhibits.
Membership includes the right to vote at regular and annual meetings, and comes with the expectation of participation in Guild activities.
Our guild year runs from June 1 to May 31, with a break during July and August. Annual dues of $35 are payable at the June meeting.
Dues are pro-rated, however, after January 1, for first-time members, dues for the remainder of the guild year are $15.
We usually meet on the first Saturday of the month at the North Kingstown Free Library but check the Upcoming Programs for changes. Doors open at 9am; the meeting begins at 9:30 am. Everyone is welcome.
