Beehive Fibre Arts Centre
This project made possible in partnership with the City of Victoria.
The Beehive Fibre Arts Centre is a multi-use space located at 1205 Blanshard St dedicated to cultivating the fibre arts community in Victoria by providing a safe, friendly, and low-barrier space for individuals, clubs, and businesses to gather together and create, learn, and share their love of textiles.
What are fibre arts?Fibre arts refers to any art form that uses textiles, fabric, or yarn. Examples include, but are not limited to: knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, fabric dying, sewing, quilting, rug hooking, embroidery, cross stitch, and so on.
