Calendar of Events

Roc Day Tampa Bay
TBA, 2018
10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Join the spinners of Pinellas Weavers Guild to celebrate Roc Day as part of your New Year’s celebrations.  The annual Roc Day event will be held at Heritage Village’s McMullen House (also known as the Fiber Arts House) where Guild members plan to demonstrate fiber crafts including weaving, spinning and other portable fiber projects, answer questions about fiber crafts, share holiday stories, recruit potential new weavers and spinners, and generally have an old fashioned good time.   

Roc Day, also known as St. Distaff’s Day, is the traditional time when women put away their holiday baking pans and got back to fiber. The name comes from the distaff used in spinning linen, also called a roc, which was the medieval symbol of women’s work.
