The Qualicum Weavers and Spinners Guild has been part of the oceanside artisan community in Qualicum Beach, BC since 1991. The guild evolved from a small group of students of noted local weaver Elaine Duncan to over 60+ members.
The group promotes the fibre arts through information sharing, demonstrations, and workshops. The group meets the fourth Monday of the month at Qualicum Commons in Qualicum Beach to exchange ideas and learn. Much of the learning occurs in the form of show and tell with individual artisans sharing their experiences. Study groups, workshops and mentoring all support the guild’s goal of fostering personal growth in the fibre arts.
The guild is a member of the Oceanside Arts Council, The Association of Northwest Weaving Guilds and the Guild of Canadian Hand Weavers.
