"…and I think this is why textile art is surging in popularity at the moment; it is adaptable to experimentation while maintaining a firm link to the past and craft sensibility..." ..... I wrote a very long interview for textileartist.org a few months ago when I was feeling inspired and on top of shit and it's given me all sorts of feels... which in itself feels weird because it's ME speaking to ME and feels super strange to read those words and be like YASSS GIRL I GET THIS. It's kinda like one of those letters you write to your 20yr old self when you're 12 but less depressing and waayy less smarmy.* Anyways! This interview is now live and ~actually~ for YOU not for me, and you can read it through the link in my profile.
πŸ€— I'm on hiatus from teaching workshops for the next month... and with no commissions or deadlines in sight I'm FINALLLLLY making time for easy breezy weavin' with no goal or aim and damn it feels gooood.
Scenes from a private Weaving 101 in Duncan this past week... along with the natural fibre yarn pack that students receive with their weaving kit, I've started bringing along some wacky extras to play around with -- like this (100% synthetic) cheeto yarn! 😹 I have a real love/hate relationship with it but it's just so darn F U N ..... Want to join in on the next workshop? Just a few spots left for these: VICTORIA July 26 VANCOUVER October 2 Link in the profile (Gonna try and get another Vancouver class in there before October... let me know if you want to host!) . . . . . #weaving #weavingworkshop #luposkittworkshop #yarn #yarnporn #tapestry #textiles #abmlifeiscolorful #dscolor #dstexture #mybeautifulmess

Feeling very lucky to do what I do 😚 . . . . . #weaving #weavingvancouver #yvr #vancouver #luposkittworkshop #textiles #tapestry #fibreart #weavingworkshop #catsofinstagram #frameloom
Oh hi, it me! On my way to teach some private classes in Vancouver today, feeling blissfully relaxed after the opening of Means of Production last night. Whew- what a great way to finish off months of craziness!! Thank you to everyone that came out, especially @nicolamacneilart and @urbansourcevancouver who drove me around, waited for me and then indulged my late night pizza needs. Victoria's pretty chill but it ain't got you two. 😚😚😚
*20 min later...* Oh oops this was for work 😢😢 hi my day job is @loregeneral and sometimes I get to touch ze plants.πŸ‘‹
These works stemmed from an anticlimactic visit to Lake Louise EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO (just discovered that and it's blowing my mind), where I struggled (+ still struggle, evidently ☻) to reconcile my anticipated experience (peaceful / natural / calm) with the reality of it (crazy / touristy / contrived canadiana). So after overdosing on everyone's instagram vacation photos of the lake (it's one of the most photographed views in the world), I get there and realize any photo of the lake is also a photo of the lake featuring 1000 strangers also trying to get a photo... + then feeling like -- why do I even want a photo anyways?? But then doing it and putting it on instagram to add to #lakelouise. Don't worry - my real artist statement is much more "professional" πŸ’… ..... THURSDAY JUNE 8, 7-9PM Join me and four other textile artists (@amanda_f_wood @amandamccavour @antipodworkshop @msiroissilver) at the opening reception for Means of Production - exploring how we make work by hand in an incresingly digital world. At CityScape Art Space (335 Lonsdale ave in North Vancouver)
πŸ™ be good to me mail gods! This piece and two others are making their way to the CityScape Gallery in North Vancouver for Means of Production-- a show featuring the work of five textile artists (moi, @amanda_f_wood, @amandamccavour, @antipodworkshop, and @msiroissilver). Opening next Thursday!! More details and pics to follow in the next couple of days -- I hope to see you there! . . . . . #weaving #textiles #fibreart #tapestry #yvrart #vancity #yvr #yvrarts
⬆Weaving 101 last night @loregeneral 😊 Thank you thank you to my amazing students - Honestly, I draw so much inspiration from the wonderful people I meet through teaching.

There are some classes still to be announced and a few private lesson dates that I'll be releasing as they become available - sign up for my newsletter if you want to be the first to know about these!

You guys... Thank you so much for all your love on my last post. I wish I could reach through this screen and give you all a giant hug - your comments made my week! Sometimes when I delve so deeply into a project I lose all perspective - is it even worth it or good? What is this even about?? Do I even enjoy doing this??? Am I a total fraud???? I mean, I think I like working alone in this attic studio but isolated and without a sounding board my thoughts just start to rattle around in my head and oh man, the self-doubt is so real, even after the relief of pulling that behemoth off the loom. So anyways, thanks for tipping my glass back to half-full with your love, it works! even it is from across the divide of cellular technology etc blah blah blah. . . . . . #weaving #tapestry #loom #victoria #leclerctissart #studio #atticstudio #homeinthestudio #ohwowyes #thatsdarling #chasinglight
Just pulled this guy off the loom (see my story for more pics) and feeling FREE AS A BIRD. Still miles to go before this piece and project is done but oh man there's a huge celebratory mug of wine in my future.
Quick little fly-by snap of last nights AMAZING Weaving 101 Workshop at lovely @chorusandclouds. What a class - I love you guys. You turned my stressful day into a great one! See below... . . "real funny story" - for this class I mailed my workshop supplies from Victoria to Vancouver and they GOT LOST in transit. I only found this out by chance when I checked the tracking ~just to make sure~ as I left work on Tuesday night. So then I scrambled to put together a new workshop kit for 11 in 3 hours the night before the class and then hauled it over on foot to Vancouver, ran around picking up last minute things and then dropped off the new kit at @chorusandclouds... five minutes before the original package was finally delivered. Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―
So I'm weaving this big piece that's all about (I think ??... πŸ™ƒ) visual overload and instagram and social media grossness, and it's ~WEIRDLY~ making me not want to spend as much time on my phone, haha. Anyways hi, I'm still here, but I'm trying to spend more time in the real world, trying to really step away and not tie my feelings of self-worth to how many likes I get and "maintaining a presence" and "building my brand" and etc etc etc. I'm just a person, trying to make nice things but trying to make the thing mean something and not just generate work for the sake of content. Ya feel me?
Packing up for today's class at @goodlifejuice in Nanaimo and someone wants to come with! Sorry bud. πŸ™€πŸ˜ΏπŸ˜½ . . . . . #weaving #loom #wovenwoodlooms #yyj #vancouverisland #victoria #vanisle #catsofinstagram
Samples upon samples! I just finished up teaching the most ambitious class I've ever done - a three-day (18hr!!) Exploratory Tapestry workshop with @maiwaschooloftextiles in Vancouver. I took 14 wonderful students through traditional and more contemporary tapestry weaving techniques into crazy-town territory, exploring alternative materials and letting our imaginations run wild. IT. WAS. AWESOME. And I'm feeling very grateful and fulfilled and tiiiiired today. (Thank you for the juju - it worked!) Check my story to see some photos of the expanding chaos we made in the studio... πŸ˜„ .....
