Description
KHWS was formed in 1948 to promote the teaching of weaving, spinning and other related crafts in both their historic, contemporary and technical contexts. Initially, members met in each other’s houses.Over the years the organization grew, utilizing various studio spaces in town, including, at one point, the attic of City Hall. In 1973 the Guild moved to the newly-purchased, City-owned J.K.Tett Centre, occupying a substantial studio space. The Portsmouth Town Hall became KHWS’s interim home in 2009 as a complete renovation, restoration and rejuvenation of “The Tett” was about to begin. In late 2013 or early 2014 KHWS will return to the Tett to occupy a wonderful new studio. This move will coincide with our organization’s 65th birthday! KHWS is the largest guild of its kind in eastern Ontario, drawing its membership, of over 80 member, from a radius of about100 Km. It is now incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario as a non-profit corporation. KHWS offers a series of workshops, seminars, mentor programs and open studio activities to its members and interested community and also participates in a number of City-sponsored events each year. From simple beginnings the Guild has developed into an important contributor to the cultural life of the citizens of Kingston.
