A PLACE OF COMMUNITY FOR NIAGARA FIBRE ARTISTS

The purpose of the Guild is to bring together those persons interested in, and engaged in the crafts of handweaving, spinning and related fibre arts, to raise public awareness of these crafts in our community, to upgrade and improve standards of workmanship and to assist the members in any appropriate manner. 

The Guild’s Community Outreach includes hands-on demonstrations with public school children taking pioneer studies, lessons and workshops available to members of the public, and an annual Art of Fibre Show and Sale. 

The Guild participates in Heritage Day events at Balls Falls Conservation Area, Short Hills Conservation Area, Canal Days in Port Colborne, the Beamsville Fair, museums in Niagara on the Lake, Welland, Jordan, Port Colborne and local art galleries. Samples of our work have been displayed at the libraries in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Fort Erie and Ridgeway.
