Guelph Guild of Handweavers and Spinners
55 Devere Dr n1g 2t3 Guelph, ON, Canada

Textiles & Tea - sponsored by the Handweavers Guild of America, every Tuesday afternoon

This virtual event is still going on this weekend. Check it out!!! www.fibreloveaffair.ca

Another upcoming event with the Fibre Forge

Rumour has it that there is still room to attend this virtual event.

As we have been planning online classes throughout the winter, we have also been thinking ahead to spring and to what opportunities we can offer our vendors who... have stuck with us even though we've had to cancel two March markets! . Our two mini markets last year held in August and September were fabulous, and we have heard nothing but positive reviews from vendors and attendees alike! So we have decided to stick with that model for the time being! . Starting in April on the third Sunday of every month we will be hosting a set of mini markets in and around Hamilton. The locations will change every month as will the vendors. Each location will be outdoors and only have a handful of vendors to keep it small and safe for everyone. . We of course know that the situation is ever-changing and we are open and ready to adapt and pivot as needed, so there could be last minute changes, but we won't know those until we get closer to each date. . Huge, huge appreciation to all of our vendors, who are doing their best to support us and take part in our crazy schemes whenever they have the opportunity . More information to come, but be sure to note the dates! . #hamiltonfibremarket #hfm #hamiltonfibrescape #thefibreforge #local wool #ontariofibrefestival #canadianfibrefestival #fibrefestival #hamont #hamontmakers See more

It is our sad but we're sure not an unexpected announcement that our annual show and sale will not be happening this year. Our members with items for sale will be posted on our website and Facebook group so all is not lost though

Thanks Melanie for sharing!
