Join us for a lovely day of textile arts at the Boulder Creek Public Library! Textile arts made by members of the Guild will be exhibited at the library, for the community to see what it is the guild does. At this exhibit opening, Guild Interest Group members will demonstrate textile art processes such as spinning, weaving, basketry, tapestry, and natural plant dyeing.

Textile artworks created by members of the Santa Cruz Textile Arts Guild will be on display at the Live Oak branch of the local public library system.

Bring your current portable projects, including those you might need help with. Socializing will add to the fun. Bring your lunch or Felton has a number of great restaurants. These Play Days will occur monthly on the 4th Wednesday of the month, 8/27/2025 to 8/26/2026.
