Although its genres may evolve with time, art itself is perpetual.
At Kingcrafts House, people have been convening with a common love of art for more than 50 years.
The non profit organization, launched in 1950 by Lady Muriel L. Flavelle, began with four groups - rug hooking, smocking, weaving and leatherwork - meeting and working out of a local church basement.
A studio sale in 1952 helped raise money for equipment, while raffle ticket proceeds paid for professional instructors. The annual studio sale and raffle are still going strong today. Each November, the Kingcrafts members hold the event featuring many unique handmade items such as paintings, pottery, jewellery, stained glass pieces and much more.
In 1955, the group officially became “Kingcrafts”. By this time the church quarters were becoming too small to accommodate the growing visual arts guild. In 1956, Kingcrafts House relocated to its current site on Keele Street.
A variety of mixed media have been offered through the years, according to demand. Presently, Kingcrafts offers courses such as stained glass, pottery, quilting, bead sculpture, fine art, rug hooking, weaving and spinning, silk painting, needlework, garden arts, bead and wire and the newest addition - jewellery, for both novice and seasoned artists.
One thing that has remained steadfast for more than half a century is the comaradarie of guild members as they create and learn from one another.
Kingcrafts House is located at 12936 Keele Street in King City. Call 905-833-1897 or visit
