West Carleton Fibre Guild

had the pleasure of a visit from Deborah Guthrie, a  graduate of St Lawrence College in the Visual and Creative Art's  program. She has participated in many Juried and non Juried shows displaying her many talents of hand dying fabrics then fashioning them into wearable articles.

A selection of  painted fabric using acrylic medium, to home brewed dyes from her garden plants, there were lots of samples to view. Deborah also had one of   her paintings on display, a repeated pattern on one piece clothing she had produced.

We were in awe of her talent from jewelry making to colourful fabrics. 

Pictures below were taken from Deborah Guthrie 's Facebook page. 

The WCFG first meeting of the 2022-2023 season was held at the Almonte Herb Garden  in a small historic barn. The membership was well represented and a half dozen new members joined us.

We were at Fibrefest 2022

A lovely display of knitting, weaving and locker hooking was 

part of the West Carleton Fibre Guild booth. There was a lot of interest in the Guild and several people signed up as prospective new members.
