Through felting, knitting, hand spinning, and weaving, Guild members create an abundance of beloved items for the home and the wardrobe. Artworks span the full range of the medium, from traditional items such as Coast Salish blankets and silk scarves to elaborate tapestries and even a vest made entirely of dog hair! Each garment, accessory, and decoration is made by hand using both classical and modern techniques.

About Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners Guild
The Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners Guild is a local organization that celebrates weaving, spinning, dyeing, basketry, felting, and knitting. The Guild was founded in 1966 and is currently based at the Museum of Surrey, where members volunteer for the Textile department. At monthly meetings, guild members cultivate their love of designing and crafting a variety of textiles that start with fibre, yarn, or other materials through workshops with local and international instructors, talks, and other programs. Each November, the Guild also holds an annual showcase of purchasable items and demonstrations at Fibre Flare held at South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre.
