Edmonton Weavers' Guild

This is organization is full of supportive artisans who are open to, and, willing to share their knowledge. Resources available include equipment and an extended library for the use of members. The courses are led by skilled makers and teachers. Really, so many good things to say! I am glad I found this group!

Fabulous workshops and classes and everyone is so welcoming and encouraging to new members. If you’re interested in learning more about felting, spinning and weaving, this is the place to come!

I’ve had the pleasure of taking a spinning class prior to joining this fine group. This active group offers day and evening study groups in all levels of weaving, spinning, knitting and felting study groups. Most meet weekly with some every two weeks. The Edmonton Weavers’ Guild also offers weekend workshops in all disciplines that relate to fibre, include dyeing, and wool preparation. They also provide various demonstrations thought out the year in order to share their love of these various art forms.I find this guild to be forward thinking by bring in other Canadian and international teachers that exposes members to new ideas and techniques. They also encourage members to share their projects and provide opportunities to instruct in the various study groups, and teach workshops to the fibre community.

This organization is wonderful. I have used the library for fibre arts magazine and books, I go to the twice monthly felting nights where I made some new friends and learned about connections and suppliers, AND they bring in awesome felting and dyeing instructors. I also picked up some great handwoven throw rugs at the annual sale.

EWG is an inviting group to fibre artist of all levels, experience and age. I have learned to felt from instructors who were generous with their time and knowledge, joined the Wednesday evening group to hone up knitting skills and am looking forward to spinning and weaving classes.

Awesome guild, I've taken classes for spinning, felting and dying. EWG is great for having almost daily get togethers for the different groups. I reccomend them to everyone who is interested in the fibre arts.

Excellent smaller work groups available to expand and share knowledge. Outreach opportunities to interact with the public. Classes and workshops supported by members of the guild.

I have attended many workshops and classes and am impressed with the level of skill and instruction in each class. What I have learned cannot be found in any book; the art is highlighted by expert use of equipment and materials, hands on learning and they teach the love of the fibre arts. The camaraderie of this group keeps me coming back!!

I took a course on learning to spin on a spinning wheel with Brenda F and it was amazing! The price was very affordable considering the length of the course, the materials provided, and the rental of a wheel for me to take home in between classes. Highly recommend! A+!
