This is a small sampling of the talents on display.
Joanie Chisholm lead an Eco Printing Workshop on September 12 & 13, 2025 in the beautiful countryside. Using natural plant material, participants learned how to up-cycle clothing. They were taught how to select plants and fabrics, how to make a dirty pot dye bath and how to print and care for their creations. As you can see below, the results were stunning.
Fleece to Shawl 2025
On August 16 and 17 a Fleece to Shawl demonstration and competition was held at the Priddis and Millarville Fair. Starting from raw fibre, participants from the Sheep Creek Weavers and the Heritage Spinners and Weavers from Calgary competed to complete hand-woven shawls. Two shawls crafted by the Sheep Creek Weavers will be sold through silent auction at the SCW fibre arts sale "From the Hands of Makers" taking place at the Millarville Racetrack Hall on October 18 and 19.

In the Community
While at the fair, volunteers from SCW assisted children (and some parents) to learn how to throw the shuttle for their very first weaving experience using a plain weave warp on the Saiori loom.

The results of the day are featured in the scarf seen here which was made by many hands.
