Weaving

The craft of weaving can be both "creative" and "therapeutic": The actual process of weaving involves handling fibers, using color, developing repetitive patterns, working with a steady rhythm, all of which contribute to a sense of harmony, well-being and satisfaction and can be very therapeutic. Using the mechanism of the loom, threads are interlaced to create a piece of fabric. There is the sense of achievement at the end when you can say, "look what I have made." The Disability Resource Centre currently has 6 weaving looms available to any member of the community. Come on down and make your own tea towels, blankets and rugs. If you are new to weaving and want to learn how, courses are offered by Madelaine Paquette and are available in January. For the experienced weaver, come down to the Centre or give us a call, and you can book a loom available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 4 pm. Weaving is one of those crafts that has been passed on from one generation to the next and continues to be a great way to participate in a physical activity while creating fun, interesting items to keep, sell or give away.

Weaving is open Monday 9 am - 4 pm, Tuesday 9 am - 4 pm, Wednesday 9 am - 4 pm, Thursday 9 am - 4 pm, Friday 9 am - 4 pm,.
