We are a community of fibre enthusiasts drawing members from the Wellington County area.
The guild hosts presentations on weaving and spinning topics from September to June each year. We have both in-person and Zoom meetings at least once per month with two meetings in October, November, April, and May. These are evening meetings on the 2nd Wednesday and additional ones on the 4th Wednesday of the month. In September, December and June we have joint meetings, usually in person, to say hello, celebrate the season, and say goodbye. Several study groups focused on weaving, spinning, knitting, and dyeing also meet monthly, usually via Zoom. We have an extensive library, tools and equipment available for rent. The Guild hosts Fall Fibres, an annual show and sale of the work of its members, the first weekend of November at the Wellington County Museum and Archives. Yearly membership dues are $80. You are welcome to come to a meeting or two as a guest. Please let us know if you plan to attend. Our in person meetings are held at Kortright Presbyterian Church 55 Devere Drive, Guelph Ontario N1G 2T3 |
