Sylvia Foy still lives on a corner of the land her family has farmed for four generations. When she looks out her front window she has a magnificent view across the water to picturesque Victoria-by-the-Sea.    It's the perfect setting for creating her woven works of art.

Sylvia has designed a line of products including placemats, table runners, coasters, pot holders, scarves, wool blankets, tote bags and golf towel using yarns from the Maritimes and Quebec. 

Sylvia loves introducing newcomers to the art of weaving and thoroughly enjoys helping those who already have some experience improve their skills.    You can spend a half day in her 3 loom studio and go home with a table runner or coasters you made yourself.

Sylvia will explain the intricacies of various types of fibre and how to use them.   You'll learn how to use a warping mill, wind bobbins, sley the loom and wind a warp on the loom. Then you'll select the colours for your project and weave a table runner or set of coasters.   If you spend the whole day you can make both!   For those spending a full day, lunch is available at the Bites Café in a beautifully restored century church just minutes away.   Available: Daily (requires a minimum 24 hours notice)   Duration: Half day (3 hours)    Full Day (6 hours)   Fees:     Half Day:   $90 + GST - 1 person    $82.50/pp + GST- 2 persons                  Full Day:    $150 + GST - 1 person  $125/pp + GST - 2 persons   Ask about rates for groups larger than 2.   Book Now   or   Contact us for more Information
