Handweavers & Spinners Guild Education Scholarship Fund
Providing scholarships for students who have had income reduced due to COVID-19. Classes are in spinning, weaving, and other fibre crafts.
Auckland
COVID-19 has meant many creative people have found themselves with time on their hands but lack of funds to pursue further education in their desired craft.
The Handweavers and Spinners Guild offers a series of classes each year including spinning, weaving, felting, and woven tapestry.
Establishing a scholarship fund enables students on a reduced income the opportunity to attend a class and achieve their creative goals while enhancing their wellbeing.
Just imagine, that $5 you saved from not buying coffee or fish and chips could help someone gain a skill for life!

Use of funds
Money raised will go directly towards partial scholarships for students wanting to take classes at the Handweavers & Spinners Guild. Any funds not awarded in scholarships will be used to help cover costs of membership fees, equipment and craft supplies.

First student supported. 14 May 2020
Thank you everyone who has donated so generously.
This week we were able to help place a student on a three day weaving class and arranged some beautiful New Zealand wool for them to work with. We can’t wait to see what they create.
Take care and enjoy level 2!
