Administrative history
Atlantic Spinners and Handweavers was established in 1970 as the Atlantic Society of Handweavers, in response to increasing interest in the craft. In 1980, as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations, the guild's name was changed to Atlantic Spinners and Handweavers, to better reflect the range of interests, knowledge and skills of its members. In 1982 the group established the Mary Black Fund to honour this noted teacher, weaver, co-founder of the Guild of Canadian Weavers, and Honorary President of the Atlantic Spinners and Handweavers. The aim of the organization is to provide opportunities for weavers, spinners, and dyers to meet in a social atmosphere, to exchange information, learn new techniques and methods and share their interests.
