Fibre Arts in Ottawa this Spring
Oh Oh!! This will be a busy and fun Spring with many artistic activities. It feels like everyone is waking up from a long dark and cold period, a bit like daffodils shots coming through warmer soil near my house foundation , or in full sun.
Soon will be the fifth annual Out-of-The-Box Fibre Fling Show and Sale. It will be on April 8th and 9th, 2016. You have seen nothing like it!
Regional Fibre artists work very hard and have lots of fun too , setting up this two-day show and sale of ALL kinds of arts based on textile. The group is creative and versatile and everyone seems to enjoy every minute of their time doing and sharing textile art. We have monthly get-together and every time, I come out of there in great spirit.
I am going to have a few items for sale, like felted soaps, and a framed mixed media print on paper called Unravelling Stitched Chaos, and for show, my 'sweater book with long A-Z tentacles (see a post last Fall).
Currently a small exhibition of fibre arts by OOTB artist is taking place at the store Wabi-Sabi on Wellington st. in Ottawa.
This Monday we had a presentation by an amazing fibre artist, Bozica Radjenovic, who creates wool sculptures. Ah...this was so magical how knitted wool pieces could become 3D objects. Bozica was so good to explain her intention in making a piece, and how it relates to her life experience. I was really moved by how beauty can emerge from adversity and pain.
