Every year we celebrate fibre crafts by stitching in public during the Stampede in Calgary. Join us at the BMO centre on Monday and view all the great work submitted to the Western Showcase Art Show. On the last weekend of Stampede we have volunteers at the Heritage Cabin stitching on the porch and inside. Learn more about the Summer Kitchen from Stampede Volunteers and see what we are all working on.

Workshops
Workshops are one of the perks of being a member. We host at least one professional teacher each guild year (sept-june) where members do not have a registration fee.
​
Our Workshop Coordinator also organizes Guild Run workshops taught by members. These are great opportunities for members to 'test the waters' of teaching in a supportive environment of fellow members.
Members have gone on afterwards to teach with other groups, in person and online!
