New shape sent for international project

This is the second shape I've sen t for Line Dufour's international project.

Royal Ontario Museum Centennial Project contribution. This is a weaving I made to reproduce an artifact called "Oracle bone". This is the bone that asks the oracle if a certain date would be auspicious for a battle.  It is one of ROM’s most important bones.

Sometimes pictures don't work. This is the only one I could rescue from my workshop for Culture Days 2013. So far 7 people attended . The library gave as the computer room and it was a very cozy space.

Tapestry exhibition - Yorkville Library - July 2013 - some pictures

Cocoons

I've decided not to participate in the Triennale des Arts Textiles des Outaouais because I didn't agree with the working conditions for the installations and that happened after I started working on that. This is what I had prepared at that moment.

Open Doors Toronto 2013 - Teaching and demo with Toronto Guild of Spinners and Weavers at City Hall

Lecture at Toronto guild of weavers - 2nd. Wednesday of May

Braving the weather -it was a snowy day - 15 people attended my lecture about tapestry at Northern District Library in Toronto. It was a rewarding experience. Attendants made interesting questions and comments. Especially, one lady made my day when she said "From now on I will look at all these from a different perspective".
I hope more of this events will take place to make Tapestry Art better known.

It was a rewarding experience and they made interesting questions and comments; especially  a lady made my day when she said to me "From now on I will look at all these from a different perspective".

Lecture at the Library

I was invited to talk about tapestry in the Northern District Branch of the Toronto Public Library's Seniors' Club on Feb.28th. This will be my little contribution to let people know more about what we tapestry artists do. I'm planning to explain what a tapestry is, how we make it and a bit of history too.
I'll write my impressions after the event.
I will also participate in the "Triennale Internationale des Arts Textiles en Outaouais 2013" taking place in August 16th to 31th at the Moon Rain Centre for Textile Arts in Val-des-Monts, Quebec. I will write about it more closer to the date.
