Who We Are

The Vancouver Guild of Fibre Arts is a dedicated group of enthusiasts focused on lifelong learning and sharing of skills, ideas and the love of working with a wide range of textile arts.

This includes embroidery, knitting, macramé, weaving and more. The Guild has been together since 1970, and cultivates a wealth of knowledge on fibre arts. Members have a wide range of skill levels and backgrounds and are eager to exchange ideas.

New members are always welcome.
