In our Studio

Open Studio Times

"Open Studio"   describes times when everyone is welcome to work on a project in the studio, use the library, socialize or just come in and look around! We ensure we have some members available to answer questions.

You will see Guild members working on a variety of personal projects and sharing knowledge, information and encouragement.  Our door is OPEN and we welcome visitors during these times.  We are happy to share our enthusiasm for fibre creations and provide information about our Guild, workshops and membership benefits.

Generally, we have Open Studio on Thursdays (10:00 am - 2:00 pm).  We are also offering Open Studio on some Sunday afternoons (when there is no workshop scheduled). Confirm Open Studio times by checking our calendar.

When there are workshops or study groups taking place, we ask that you plan your visit for another time.

What is happening in our studio?

Our studio is busy with studio projects, workshops, study groups and enthusiastic Open Studio sessions.

Recently a colourful lap blanket project was set up on the 100 inch loom, which was visible in our window. There were  13 wool blankets made.  We had Large Bath Blankets on the Waddington Countermarche Loom. Nine beautiful cotton blankets were made. We also had some colourful tea towels on one of our 36" Leclerc Jack Looms.

                  

Now we have a Blue and White Waffle Weave Tea Towel Project set up on the 45" 12-shaft J-Loom and a Triangular Shawl is being woven on a special frame that is being displayed on the 100" Loom.

          

What is happening beyond our studio?

On Sunday September 21, 2025, KHWS members closed out summer by heading outside with spinning wheels and knitting needles for a SPINNING FROLIC! Visitors were surprised by how soft the prepared fibre was and enjoyed watching the blend of blues and greens spun into a textured yarn. Three members started knitting the vest pieces as soon as there was enough solid colour for the ribbing. Spinners continued to spin  and provide yarn for the knitters.
