Looking for a New Home

Heritage Weavers and Spinners Guild of Calgary

The Heritage Weavers and Spinners Guild of Calgary is looking for a new home. We have to leave our current location at ArtPoint in Ramsay to make way for the new Green Line LRT construction.

We are a membership organization that organizes classes and workshops in fibre arts, including weaving spinning, felting, dyeing and more. We gather to work on our fibre projects, learn from each other and plan events to promote the fibre arts in the city. This year we are celebrating our 45th anniversary and hope to find another long-term new home.

We are looking for approximately 1,000 square feet for our looms, spinning wheels and our extensive library. Do you know of a bright space with access to water in a central location with good parking? Please contact us at heritageweaversandspinners@gmail.com.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Metis Nations 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit peoples from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
