West Carleton Fibre Guild
West Carleton Fibre Guild
The West Carleton Fibre Guild (WCFG) began in the mid-1980’s with a small group of weavers and spinners. The guild has since expanded to nearly 40 fibre enthusiasts from West Carleton, Kanata, Ottawa and beyond.
What we do
The guild meets once a month and has regular study groups for those looking to further improve their fibre arts skills. Monthly guild meetings usually include a presentation and/or hands-on workshop activity, as well as show-and-tell, and help with any fibre arts issues. Guild members have many areas of expertise, including:
- Weaving
- Spinning
- Knitting/crocheting
- Bobbin lace
- Beading/embellishment
- Silk Fusion
- Wet and Dry Felting
- And much, much more!
