About us
This Guild is a non-profit organisation, its main aim is to foster the art of Quilting and Textile related Art in and around Johannesburg. GRG in turn is affiliated to the South African Quilters’ Guild, which is the Governing Body for South Africa.
We promote a philosophy of all Quilters being equal, no matter their level of expertise. To this end, Quarterly Friendship Gatherings are held to promote skills, knowledge, friendship and comaraderie amongst all Quilters. Through demonstrations and talks at these meetings, expertise is gained from accomplished Quilters who are more than willing to share their skills and knowledge. In addition to this, many of our groups are involved in “Share & Care” projects to facilitate the art of Quilting-making in groups where these skills can be used for financial gain and personal enhancement.
Whether you are a seasoned quilter, a beginner or have an innate curiosity about the craft, we encourage you to attend our Friendship Gatherings and see for yourself the benefits of joining this wonderful group of Quilters.
