ABOUT US

OUR STORY
​
The Canadian Tapestry and Texture Centre (CTTC) was founded in 2015. The CTTC is a natural extension to the Oakville Handweavers and Spinners Guild, the oldest Guild in Oakville, Ontario, founded in 1954. The Canadian Tapestry and Texture Centre is a non-profit educational organization that explores tapestry through traditional and contemporary art forms. Through our programs and our community outreach, we create and provide an intergenerational, non-judgmental, art-making and learning opportunity for women, younger adults living with disabilities and older adults.
