The Birtle Centre for the Arts is holding a Fibre Arts Symposium June 1st and 2nd in Birtle, Manitoba. The theme is Ties that Bind and I will be a featured speaker at the event! My presentation will focus on family and cultural ties to my rug hooking and the connection between craft and mindfulness as well as ties to the environment as a source of inspiration. I'll also be doing some demonstrations and will bring along some antique mats. There lots of other great presentation also and it looks like a really great weekend!

Silver Willow Fibre and Textile Festival
Silver Willow Fibre and Textile Festival is Saskatoon's first festival of its kind and I'm so excited to be involved! I'll be teaching a workshop at the festival.
From the festival organizers:
A fibre centric gathering of maker’s and artisans. At Silver Willow Fibre Festival you’ll find the novelty of Indie dyer’s, the everlasting charm of yarn, and the tactile delight of rovings, batting, and fibre locks, all ready for use. You find tools of the trade, and a showcase of virgin fleeces, which is where all things created with fibre begin. You’ll discover a few side markets as well as we invite specialty artisans to join us. At the Silver Willow you’ll witness the marvel of the makers, learn new skills in our workshops, and discover new rabbit holes of creativity.
