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.
Lori Longpre is the owner of Sew Peachy Sewing Studio in Creston, BC, where she combines her love of quilting with a passion for teaching. A lifelong maker, Lori started sewing at age twelve, crafting clothes for her family and stitching her first quilt from leftover scraps. That first experience sparked a journey that deepened years later when she rediscovered quilting. Inspired and encouraged by the local quilt guild, Lori grew in skill and confidence, eventually opening her own studio. Today, she finds joy in guiding others, helping them discover the tools, techniques, and inspiration they need to bring their creative projects to life.
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.
