People and Place
People and Place grew out of a desire to support people in working on a project together yet apart during the early days of the pandemic. People and Place pays homage to the places where we feel connected to one another, and the land from which we draw inspiration and livelihood.
The tapestry was designed and assembled by lead artist Genevieve Townsend and is made up of 56 pieces completed by 50 creative people from across the Ottawa Valley. The tapestry recreates a map of the Ottawa Valley – its rivers, lakes, streams and watersheds – with each of the 56 pieces representing a section of the map.

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.
