The Guild is pleased to offer equipment for rental to help get you started without the initial expensive outlay. This will allow you to trial a new, potentially life-long, skill without breaking the bank. Guild equipment hire is limited to three months and is available to members. So if you aren’t a member, why not become one? After all, membership is cheaper than a new wheel or loom. And rental allows you to discover what you like about equipment subtleties before purchasing. And you get membership rates on your classes plus access to the extensive resources in the Guild library.
