THE MID ESSEX GUILD OF WEAVERS, SPINNERS & DYERS
EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS 2025
Most of the events and exhibitions shown here are reasonably accessible for our guild members. But to see more exhibitions, events or courses, do look at the Journal in our library if you don’t actually have your own copy.
Silk kimono silk, embroidered and appliqued, 1860-1880. V&A FE.73-2014
Some of you may have seen Corinne Duhig on the television, in her role as an archeologist at Cambridge University, but her private passion is collecting Kimono. She often wears one, and will when we gather for her talk at Christ Church, Stoneham Street CO6 1UH on Friday, 25th April from 2-4:30pm.
Join us to see examples, hear about the exquisite craft involved and the subtle social symbolism of this most unchanging garment. As usual there will be tea too and the cost is £20, payable at the door. Booking is required and can be made by contacting Diane on

Immerse yourself in the beauty of kimono
