Celebrating cultures through textiles and fibres

Weavers from across the region will showcase their work at an event in the Comox Valley.

Organizer Lynda Drury says it will celebrate the rich history associated with a number of textiles and fibres from various cultures.

Drury says it’s a great opportunity for locals to share their work.
