TSGSD Members MonthlyMeetings

As we closely monitor the evolving COVID-19 situation, we wanted to update you all on the status of the Textile Study Guild of San Diego. The health and safety of the San Diego textile community we serve is our top priority, and we are committed to delivering the experience you know and love in an environment that promotes and protects the well-being of our members, friends, and supporters. Consequently, we are following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and promoting social distancing by hosting our 1st Friday Monthly Members Meetings, Workshops, and the TSGSD Board Meetings online for the time being.

With our programs online until further notice, we hope you will continue to connect with us. We welcome your ideas, projects, and creative thoughts during this extended period. We'd love to share in what you're planning, dreaming up, creating, and inspired by on one of our Members platforms below
