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.

Greetings and best wishes from the Ontario Handspinning Seminar! The Organizing Committee and Board of Directors hope that you are in good health and good spirits. We have all been through an unimaginable year and it looks like we need to hold on for a while yet. Stashes are being raided, both our own and those of our friends...
Earlier this fall as the Organizing Committee looked to the future, we could not in good conscience plan to bring us all together physically in June 2021. While there is hope on the horizon that looks promising, the Committee has committed to creating a virtual Seminar that can be experienced from the safety of our own homes. We will include all of the important elements of past Seminars. As in years past, there will be time and space to socialize, share, learn with and from each other while enjoying fibre and spinning!
Our theme planned for 2020 of Sustainable Fibres will be the focus for our Seminar in 2021. We hope to have many of the 2020 features returning as well. This unique opportunity of hosting a virtual Seminar also allows us to look beyond Ontario to bring a Global presence to our event. We understand that attending a virtual event may be new ground for some, however, the committee is working on several projects to make it easier for everyone. We look forward to hosting a safe, fibre-filled weekend and invite you to join us.
