Master Classes, Workshops, Displays, Vendors
We are excited to bring together a community of fibre educators and producers including spinners, knitters, weavers, designers, textile artists, felters, dyers, quilters, and others who support the fibre arts.
Joyce Brown is a fibre artist whose joyful spirit shines through her art and teaching. Specializing in art and landscape quilts, she blends traditional techniques with surface design, mixed media, and rich cultural influences gathered from her travels. Her creative process is intuitive and ever-evolving, resulting in one-of-a-kind pieces. As a passionate quilter and experienced judge, Joyce aims to inspire, uplift, and empower others to explore their own creative tangents through fibre art.
Katherine Bonham lives in Calgary, Alberta. She likes to make stuff, starting with sewing up some epic historical, theatre, and fantasy costumes. Then she got into weaving, which lead to spinning, and then she also got into wet felting. She thinks that anyone can go into crafts, no matter their age, and that you can make anything your heart desires.
Mona Smith has extensive experience in sewing, machine embroidery and quilting. With her embroidery machine, she has made beautiful embroidery on both fabric and cork, resulting in gorgeous purses, bags, and wallets. Her quilts have won awards like the "visitor's choice" award by the Nelson Quilt Guild.
Bill and Valerie Swetlishoff have serviced and repaired sewing machines for 22 years in and around the West Kootenays, and now Creston as well. They do repairs for two local sewing studios/fabric shops, a local sewing machine dealer, local industrial sewing machine users and local schools.
Our fibre & supplier-oriented Market Place event is the place to go if you want to find the best, newest and most interesting supplies for your project.
