Textile Arts Creative Circle
https://artistryfound.com/what-is-textile-art/
Do you enjoy creating beautiful things using fibres and/or fabrics? Such activities can be undertaken for a practical purpose, for example to create pieces of clothing, table wear, quilts. It also can be pursued as a fine art where the artist creates items that have intrinsic value –e.g. wall hangings and pictures. (Sometimes as in the photo above the distinction is not very clear.)
The Centre For Creative Living is adding a new creative circle that focuses on textile arts. Whether you sew, knit, weave, crochet, embroider, felt etc. you are welcome. This cooperative activity will occur on Thursday afternoons at St. Paul’s Anglican Church hall from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Ingrid Hamster will mentor this group providing advice on your project if needed. To join, please register here for a CFCL membership https://www.eventbrite.com/e/500998278337 The annual CFCL membership fee is $110. Subsidies are available.
Please note that this membership entitles you to participate in any of the centre’s creative circles. For more information see our website: https://centreforcreativeliving.weebly.com/ and/or email Sue Evans, CFCL coordinator at cfcl@stpaulsalmonte.ca
