Organizer
Contemporary Textile Studio Co-op
The Contemporary Textile Studio is a member-based, registered Cooperative dedicated to textile arts, craft and design through education, innovation and research. We offer year-round textile based workshops, bringing in specialized instructors from both Canada and globally, with a mandate to educate and collaborate on sustainable textile practices. Our free drop-in activities for Ontario Culture Days will offer a "mini version" of the types of workshops we offer, as well as an opportunity to see what it is like inside of a working 1200 square foot studio, meet some our members, and explore what we have to offer.
