Three Days of Weaving

Tofield, Alberta
September 10–12, 2027

About the gathering

Each September, we gather in the garden for three days of basketry workshops, shared meals, open weaving, and evenings around the fire.

Come to learn something new, bring a basket already in your hands, or simply spend the weekend among people who love making things from willow, bark, grasses, and other gathered materials.

New weavers are just as welcome as those who have been at it for years. You don’t need to be a weaver to belong here. Children and partners are welcome, and camping is available right here in the garden.

Registration opens in the spring. Join the newsletter to hear about workshops, teachers, and plans for the weekend as they unfold.
