Programs at Monthly Guild Meetings

Each month we either host a speaker with well-researched credentials, or we present a mini workshop where participants go home with a project well on it's way to completion. Guild meetings also feature a show-and-tell segment as well as refreshments which are provided by various guild members on a rotating basis.

Guild meetings usually start at 7 pm at the Good Shepherd Church on Henderson Road in King of Prussia, PA. For directions visit the map and directions page. If you’re interested in visiting us, guests are always welcome at our general monthly meetings for a modest guest fee of $10. If you're interested in becoming a member, visit the membership page.
