Welcome! |
The Ontario Handspinning Seminar is Ontario's annual three day gathering for spinners. Founded in 1964, the Seminar provides a location for spinners of all levels of experience to meet, take workshops, share their work, learn new techniques, shop and be inspired by each other. The Seminar moves around the Province to allow easy access for all. Each year the organizing committee selects a theme for the event and all workshops and activities focus on this main idea. Most importantly, the Ontario Handspinning Seminar brings together our community of spinners for a weekend of sharing, creativity and collaboration.
An Important Announcement Regarding the 2020 Ontario Handspinning Seminar
It is with regret that the Board of Directors and the organizing Committee of the Ontario Handspinning Seminar have decided to cancel this year’s Seminar, June 12-14, 2020 in Burlington.
As with all Canadians, we have been following the developments surrounding COVID-19 (coronavirus) and the responses from the community-at-large.
We have spoken with Public Health officials and have been monitoring Public Health Canada’s daily statements and have concluded that, although 3 months away, the virus has not yet peaked in Canada.
While we are very disappointed with this decision, we feel that it is the right thing to do. Our main concern is for the health and well-being of our friends and colleagues who attend The Seminar every year.

We know that one of the fun parts of attending The Seminar is the Sales Room. We will be posting the Vendors who had taken booths with us this year and we encourage you all to carry on your shopping with them by phone, email and online.
Thank you so much for your understanding and we hope to see you all next year in Burlington at The Ontario Handspinning Seminar, June 11 to 13, 2021.
