The April daytime spinning session will be merged  with the guild spin-in at the Bradner Flower Show which is happening on Saturday April 10th and Sunday April 11th.  So we’re hoping that all of the daytime spinners will be able to attend that and we’ll have lots of spinners/weavers representing the guild.  Thanks.

World Wide Knit in Public Day is coming to a community near you.  Go to the  website for information on events in your neighbourhood or to list an event.

Cheer on local spinners and weavers as they participate in this traditional competition. Watch as they card, spin, and ply raw sheep’s wool into yarn, then weave a shawl - all in four hours! See demonstrations of sheep shearing, view wool displays, and try weaving on heritage looms or spinning on real spinning wheels. Kids can try weaving, or make sheep crafts and pictures while they watch the show.

Laid Over To Cover : Weaving and Photography in the Salishan Landscape

Co-presented by Presentation House Gallery and Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff
Curated by David Bellman and Meirion Cynog Evans

” Laid Over To Cover: Photography and Weaving in the Salishan Landscape presents a culturally important group of traditional and functional artifacts: nineteenth and twentieth century wool and cedar weavings produced within a network of inter-related and over-lapping oral traditions. This legacy is expanded in the exhibition and brought into the present with the work of contemporary practitioners Keith Nahanee (Squamish Nation), and Melvin Williams (Lil’wat Nation).”
