To you know Thor Hansen's printed textiles. Did you see the Thor Hansen: Crafting a Canadian Style at the Textile Museum of Canada in 2005. The show was great. While this blog post by Julia Brucculieri is a reworking of Rachel Gotlieb's catalogue essay its is nice to be reminded of the exhibition that i did write about at the time. There is a link to the catalogue that you can purchase through the gift shop, a bargain at $4.95 it has many interesting photos and names like like interior designer Edwin H. Porter who had weavers Velta Vilsons ( who was judge for the Toronto Guild of Spinners and Weavers 1976 exhibition at Gibson House Toronto History Museums ) and Ilse Poma who had worked for Karen Budlow do weaving demonstrations in his shop and started their own business Handweaving Studio in Toronto that can be a jumping off point for part of the " The History of Handweaving in Toronto 1925 until Present.

It is kind of that I didn't make it to the National Gallery of Canada to see Woven Histories Textiles and Modern Abstraction. It would have been nice to the pieces in real life. I wouldn't have been disappointed by the lack of Canadian fibre artist producing work in the same time period ( some of which have been held by the NGC for decades but classified/ catalogued as decorative arts) Works in the show which have suddenly become art not craft were mostly collected as Craft and or Design not art, decorative or not. Still it would have been nice see the work in real life. It closed tomorrow March 2/ 25

This transformative exhibition explores how abstract art and woven textiles have intertwined over the past seventy years.

the Textile Museum of Canada on 55 Centre Street has announced it's "Temporary Closure" for various reasons including having the elevator repaired/ replaced. To be blunt unless a mayor benefactor steps up to the plate along with several large donations are received with in the next few months i doubt the museum will reopen to celebrate it's 50th anniversary . .

First it must be said it is with gratitude to the Indigenous peoples on whose territories I live and work: Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, and Mississauga of New Credit territory, recognizing the One Dish, One Spoon Wampum in Tkaronto. Thank You. FibreQUARTERLY was begun in 2005 as a stopgap after Surfacing the magazine published by Textile Artist Designer Association and the organization shut down. (no new nationwide Canadian textile/ fibre/ craft / arts has been formed so the gap remains. In 2008 i started posting Textile Sightings albums on facebook that have documented a few hundred exhibitions I have seen in cities and towns across Canada as well as 5 European countries and two of the US states. I have present the work of over 1,000 makers and that is what this fb page is about really, the rest is just icing
