All sorts of groups of people come to BEAUTIFUL SILKS. Some are friends, some are more formally organised into Guilds or Associations, some would like to grow bigger. You might be a new person moving to an area looking for other people with whom to share your passion for quilting or felting. You and a few friends might want to do a textile walking tour of Melbourne. You might have a few people in your town who would like to do a class in devore or shibori but be unable to find a local person to tutor you. You may want to knit a scarf, like women from the Beaconsfield area in Northern Tasmania after the mine disaster... well you’d need a few folk around the table, that scarf’s half a mile long! Or you might just like to have an exhibition of local craft, as the folk from Birregurra in South West Victoria do each year. We want all our friends’ Guilds to grow. That’s why we’re having special “Battle of the Guilds” prizes at our annual awards nights, and why we’re promoting guild and club meetings in special sections of our website. We’ll run forums, noticeboards and individual publicity pages. If you’re looking for an activity anywhere in Australia or New Zealand, if you’re looking for a class or a workshop, or to offer skills, do it through our website. Most ads are free, or free if your group makes a group order of $500 at least once each 3 months. Remember groups buying in bulk don’t only get free publicity, they get lower prices and they save on transport costs. No matter how specialised your activity or your need for materials, Beautiful Silks will be able to source you a product, a service, a designer, a manufacturer or a tutor or put you in touch with a group for all your textile needs.
