    Virtual Meeting

    Peer Skill Share

    Whether experienced or novice, we all hit obstacles in certain areas that leave us perplexed, and sometimes demotivated. Obstacles could be tension issues, dealing with selvedges, too much/too little twist, slippery fibres, etc. In this meeting we will come together to help each other overcome these obstacles and become better weavers and spinners. Please come with questions you’ve been meaning to ask, and if possible, maybe a project where you faced challenges and a story of how you overcame them. We want everyone to participate, regardless of your proficiency!

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!
