Come and See Us at the Fair
Members of the Sheep Creek Weavers will be participating in the annual Fleece to Shawl competition at the Priddis & Millarville Fair on August 15th. You can witness a good-natured rivalry between the Sheep Creek Weavers, Heritage Weavers (Calgary) and the Crocus Guild (High River and Okotoks). Awards will be given for: Speed, Spinning Consistency, Weaving Finesse, Creativity and Team Spirit.
The annual Make and Take event at the fair happens on August 16th along with a sale of some members' hand-created items.
We also invite you to visit an ongoing display of our 50th Anniversary Projects and watch members demonstrate a few of our various fibre arts practices. You can find us at the Alberta Craft Gallery and C-Space (1721 29 Ave. SW, 2nd floor, Calgary) beginning July 4th and running until August 29th.

At our regular meeting on January 8, 2026, guest speaker Dr. Jennifer Salahub gave a talk entitled “Why You Are Important: Navigating Between the Mercurial Demands of Tradition and Innovation”. Dr Salahub interwove stories about our guild, other arts and fibre arts organizations, and the culture of Alberta.
Currently, Dr. Salahub is a Professor in Critical and Creative Studies at the Alberta College of Art and Design. She is well known for her well researched, interesting, and entertaining engagement with her subject.
Following Dr. Salahub's presentation, meeting attendees began a year of celebration with some very delicious cakes .
Annual Sale
The Sheep Creek Weavers Annual Sale, held on October 17 and 18, was another great success and we wish to thank everyone who attended. This is our biggest fundraising event of the year and your support is greatly appreciated.
Appreciation is also extended to the many volunteer members who contributed to the sale in so many different ways. We also wish to thank our non-member helpers, including staff from the Millarville Racing & Agricultural Society.
We hope to see you all again next year!
