    Call for Auction Donations
    We will be closing out the 2023-24 year with our traditional auction. Are you looking to de-stash some skeins, fibre, tools, and other items to make room for more? So are your fellow Guild members! Please list your items in the spreadsheet here, or email Mike with the description and approximate value. He will happily update the spreadsheet for you. And if you don’t have anything to donate but are interested in seeing what might be on offer, check out the spreadsheet!
    Please let us know what you are offering by June 10, 2024.

    You can bring your donated items to The Meeting House at 7 pm on Wednesday, 12th, so they can be organized before the auction opens at 7:30.

    Members are welcome to bring guests to the Auction. Payment can be by cash, cheque, or e-transfer.

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!
