The
20 members of Whonnock Weavers and Spinners
come from the Fraser Valley / Lower Mainland
area of B.C.
The purpose of the Whonnock Weavers and Spinners
is to encourage active interest in the fibre
arts, both of it's members and the community.
We welcome anyone, from beginner to advanced,
with interests in the fibre arts. We have a
great diversity of skill levels and interests
as well as willingness to share information
and techniques. We meet every second and fourth
Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m. at Whonnock Lake
Centre, September to June. Annual membership
fees of $25.
Whonnock Weavers and Spinners Guild was formed
in 1974 by a group of people interested in keeping
alive the age-old crafts of weaving and spinning
and who wished to share their experiences with
others. Demonstrations, visual presentations,
slideshows, workshops, sales and community displays
are included in our activities.
An annual exhibition and sale is held at Whonnock
Lake Centre, displaying handcrafted items made
by guild members. All funds generated by the
sale help subsidize guild workshops and projects
throughout the year. We do demonstrations and
hands-on weaving projects for primary schools
in Maple Ridge.
