Welcome!
The Association of Quebec Weavers is a not-for-profit association, founded in 1980 to meet the needs of handweavers, be they beginners or professionals, to share their common interests.
Our goals are to promote the art of weaving and spinning in the province of Quebec, to improve the quality of teaching, creativity, competency as well as the artistic qualities of all who practice this art.
Our mission is to preserve the art of handweaving, an important part of our heritage.
Our members come from the various associations, "cercles des fermières", weaving programs, guilds and also from individuals who do not necessarily belong to an established group but wish to exchange and benefit from a wider network. Any one interested by handweaving and fiber works can become a member of our association.
Our bulletin, published thrice a year, permits us to maintain a strong contact with our membership.
The annual convention is held each year in a different area of the province and is the ideal opportunity to see on site the best and brightest in weaving art from across Quebec. It also offers the chance to learn new techniques through workshops and network with other participants.
The research group permits our members from all levels to elaborate a particular technique and to share the results of their experiences with other group members.
