Fibreshed events

We host events at a variety of venues on the Coast, including farms, studios, public libraries, and markets. While some events are for members only, we also have many open to the general public. These are opportunities for the community to learn about what we do and where we love to collaborate!

We have and will continue to explore processing, carding, spinning, dyeing, felting, and other aspects of the Fibreshed movement of your interest. A tool library of books and equipment is also accessible to members.

With our AGM coming up in May, we’ll resume planning of events together with our newly appointed board of directors, alongside community partners. Interested in joining our board to help us fulfill our mission and plan for the coming year? We’d love to hear from you. Get in touch with us here
