Our Guilds
We have local groups in North Bay, Timmins, Kapuskasing, Val Rita, Saulte Ste. Marie, Elliot Lake, Huntsville, Bracebridge, and Sudbury.
The WASOON 2O16 Conference
Every two years one of our guilds hosts an amazing weekend conference. WASOON 2016 will run from Friday May 27th to Sunday 29th at College Boreal in Sudbury, Ontario. We have an amazing line up of workshops to fill the weekend, a new fun idea for breaking the ice at our opening reception on Friday, and a banquet and keynote presentation on Saturday to celebrate 60 years of weaving in the North.
We have a good selection of vendors, so ifthere are weaving or spinning tools you are looking for, or if you need to restock on raw materials, we look forward to seeing you at the foot of the rock.
For conference details see the WASOON 2016 page:
