For seventeen days we showcase traditional and contemporary experimental approaches to fiber, including wall hangings, sculpture, installations, quilting, hooking, lace-making, knitting, weaving, embroidery, crocheting, paper-making, felting, stitched canvas, mixed media, soft sculpture, wearable art, recycling materials, plastics manipulation, basketry, conceptual work and performance.
We currently have a 2009 Call for Submissions, and we will soon have a Call for Participants to organize or curate their own shows as part of the festival.
In 2007, the World of Threads Festival was honoured with Oakville’s annual Community Spirit Award for volunteerism in the Arts and the Oakville Volunteer of the Year for Dawne Rudman.
