It seems that once interested in fibre arts, we don’t limit ourselves to just one activity. So we’ve created this page to increase awareness of other other fibre groups or initiatives.
To celebrate their 40th anniversary, the Canadian Embroiderers’ Guild – London is organizing “Gathering Threads” a multi-disciplinary Celebration of Fibre and Community from May 12 to 15, 2011 at the UWO campus, Perth Hall.
Their event will showcase a variety of fibre arts techniques through 3-day workshops (including one workshop exploring lace-making), exhibitions, and a wearable art fashion show, sale & dinner.
They will also have an area open to the public on May 13 & 14 for vendors and sister fiber groups – like the Fringe – to set up displays and demonstrations. We hope to see you there.
For more information about this event check out their website www.ceglondon.com or visit their Celebration Table at London’s Covent Garden Martket March 11 -13, 2010.
If you are interested in putting items into their fashion show, let us know and we will put you in touch with the organizers.
The London Lacers usually meet the last Sunday of the month in London, Ontario. This group encompasses a variety of lace-making techniques, including shuttle- and needle- tatting. If you are interested in attending a meeting or wish to be included in their email list for meeting updates & other lacey news – please contact pamglew@rogers.com for details. It is important to contact Pam well ahead of meetings, particularly during summer months, as the meeting date sometimes changes due to lace demonstration commitments at Fanshawe Pioneer Village.
