Welcome to the Oakville Handweavers and Spinners Guild Blog. We started in 1952 and since then we have taken part in many local community activities. Members of our Guild demonstrate spinning or weaving at historical sites throughout Oakville; we network with Guilds in surrounding areas by means of workshops and seminars; we participate with other local Guilds in textile exhibitions and provide individual and group instruction in weaving and spinning.

New tapestry from one of our members
Here we show you one of Stella Tang’s tapestries. She is in the process of finishing another one in plain weave and soumak. (ixchel, what is soumak? it is the name of a plant as far as I know, what does it have to do with weaving?)
Her design changed a bit as she worked on it and she almost gave up. In the end she finished her “challenge” with great success! Congratulations, Stella!
