Meetings & Location

St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church
11555 National Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90064

Meetings are held from 9 am to 2 pm on the fourth Saturday of each month, except December.

Meetings begin at 9 am with an hour of coaching or mentoring for members who wish focused assistance on a particular spinning or fiber preparation technique or skill. At 10, a short business meeting is held, followed by an exchange of information on members’ recent spinning-related projects. A half-hour program on a specific topic precedes a break for refreshments and a raffle of items contributed by members. The remainder of the meeting is available for informal spinning and shopping from Guild members who have spinning-related items available for purchase. Periodically, the meeting will include a half-day workshop on a more extended topic.
