If you find someone in the Edmonton area to do the weaving, I could potentially serve as a local contact, but you might also want to check out folks closer to home such as http://www.studio3fibrearts.com/ in the Ottawa valley.
I have been courting the idea of working with John (Keltoi) very seriously for some time now, and I would be pleased to own one of his works. The only downside, is that he's about an 8-hour drive away, still in Ontario, and therefore obligated to charge me PST :-| [buying from Scotland or out-of-country, I'd have to pay GST at most, since there is no duty on 'articles of ethnic costume' imported into Canada (q.v. Canada Customs Tariff number 9937.00.00)]

Thanks for the link to the local Fibre Arts society... I will be in touch with them.

Cheers!
