Guild of Canadian Weavers

Connecting hand weavers from coast to coast to coast since 1947

The Guild of Canadian Weavers cultivates communities for handweaving across Canada and elevates the technical and artistic standards for handweaving.

We encourage weavers of all generations. Together we thread the past with the future through the stories we share and the cloth we weave.
