Education

The primary mandate of the Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners is to promote the teaching of weaving, spinning, and related crafts in their historic, contemporary, and technical contexts. The Guild offers a diverse range of workshops, taught by experienced instructors and available to both members and the public; hosts speakers at monthly meetings; and provides mentorship for fibre artists at all stages of their learning. In this exhibition, Susi Reinink and Bethany Garner discuss fibre arts education, and Roberta McKinney, Rosie Hyde, Barbara Heins, Norma Rosier, Elaine Horemans, and Esther Grav discuss workshops and conferences.
