Manitoba Weavers and Fibre Artists (MWFA) – We are a guild whose members meet to share knowledge, skills and experience in weaving and the fibre arts. Most members are weavers, and many are also spinners and knitters. In addition to weaving, guild members are interested in dyeing, braiding, fingerweaving, felting, rug-making and other craft techniques that involve fibre. We welcome new members!
Members share completed projects, samples from workshops, and other items of interest in “show and tell” at regular meetings from September to June each year and participate in educational programs. MWFA maintains an extensive library, with subscriptions to weaving and fibre-related periodicals for members’ use. Looms and equipment are available for loan to members.
MWFA offers weaving workshops, typically over a weekend and with an out-of-town facilitator. Instruction in basic weaving is also available on an irregular basis. Are you interested in learning how to weave? Contact us for information about our introductory 4-harness weaving course. Study groups and sample exchanges are organized by guild members.
Guests are welcome to attend any of our meetings. Please e-mail to request additional details.
