    Textile Museum of Canada
    55 Centre Ave, Toronto, ON, M5G 2H5

    Make your own way to the museum where we look forward to a guided tour of two excellent exhibitions: Gathering and The Secret Codes: African Nova Scotian Quilts.

    We are trying to arrange for Guild members to access the Textile Museum for an hour or so before the guided tour, to allow time for visiting the Shop, etc. More information will be shared as it comes available.
    Kindly let us know if you plan to attend, so we can tell the Textile Museum how many people to expect.

IN THE COMMUNITY

The Guild generally participates in the following Riverdale Farm events , demonstrating fibre processing, spinning, weaving, and other textile skills to the public. After a hiatus during the pandemic, we look forward to resuming these events this Spring.

FAMILY DAY
Riverdale Farm is a great place to spend Family Day, with lots of fun activities taking place, including weaving and spinning demonstrations and activities that the whole family can enjoy.

SHEEP CELEBRATION
Riverdale Farm opens its doors with the farm’s popular Spring Festival at which Guild members use the fleece shorn from the farm sheep to demonstrate the skills needed to wash the wool, prepare it for spinning, make yarn, dye it, and weave it into cloth. Come and watch the process, from sheep shearing on!

FALL FESTIVALS
See the Guild in action on the second weekend in September at the Riverdale Farm Fall Festival, and at the Cabbagetown Festival too!
