Membership
Membership suits anyone who wants regular access to Textile Works — drop-ins, interest groups, equipment and the library — beyond a single workshop or a one-off visit.
When it's due
Membership is due from 1 January each year. If you join between 1 November and the end of December, you're covered through to the end of the following year — up to 14 months for the price of one.
CSW doesn't publish a membership fee amount on its own site, so we won't guess one here —contact CSW for the current rate.
