As I end my 4 month residency at the contemporary textile co-op I want to share some photos and gratitude toward the time I spent there. It was so much fun!! It’s a lovely and motivating space filled with the most welcoming people - I leave feeling so full. I got to continue my explorations on weaving with plastics, participated in designTO, and explored some natural dye colours.
Thank you to @monaleisa2 , @textile_studio and @craftontario for making this possible for me. There’s a lot of growth I went through as an emerging artist within those 4 months that’ll influence my next steps in my creative career. I’m inspired and energized to keep creating ☺️📝
I love these specialty threads after I’ve pulled them from my indigo vat. Something about this blue 💙#ironindigo #índigo @textile_studio We have such a great space to work in at 401 Richmond, Happy May everyone.
Finally, a beautiful sunny morning in May to sit and do some stitching. Love having some hand dyed threads to work with as well. #wip #slowstitching #textileart @textile_studio
Vacation is over and it’s back to work, one stitch at a time, love selecting thread colours to work with. #wip #slowstitching #textileart @textile_studio
