Heritage Weavers and Spinners Guild of Calgary

Don’t waste that garden waste! Turn it into a beautiful little basket.

As your garden winds down for the season, gather those long leaves and natural materials and discover how to weave them into a sweet, one-of-a-kind basket.

Lily, iris, bulrush—or whatever long-leafed plants are growing in your garden. And if you don’t have enough in your own garden, this is a great excuse to get to know your neighbours and ask what you can harvest!

Join Christine Muir, who has been weaving baskets for more than 35 years, for an afternoon of exploring the possibilities of natural vegetation.

🍂 Saturday, October 24, 2026
🕐 1–4 pm
💰 Members $40 | Non-members $45

Bring your own supplies and come ready to turn garden leftovers into something beautiful. If you have any questions email Christine at [email protected].

Registration are on our website.

MAKERS & MENTORS

Learn something new. Share what you know. Connect with fellow makers.

Our Makers & Mentors sessions are a series of peer-led learning opportunities for guild members, with a different topic, skill or technique featured in each session.

Each session is led by one of our own members, sharing their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with the group.

Different topic. Different mentor. Something new to learn.

Whether you're looking to build a new skill, explore something you've never tried, or simply learn from another guild member, there's always something to discover.

Watch for upcoming sessions and join us!

Our next collaborative project is officially rolled on!

14 weavers, one warp, and a whole lot of anticipation about what’s going to come off these looms.

A little behind-the-scenes look at the warping and the finished rolled-on warp.

We’re keeping the pattern a secret for now… but we’ll reveal it soon!

Stay tuned.
