In Stitches
Stitchery, Collage & Quilting by
Kirsten Chursinoff
Barb Head
Patt Wilson
Kirsten Chursinoff graduated in Textile Arts from Capilano College and soon immersed herself in "the wonderful world of textile art". Recently her expertise in embroidery and fabric collage was shown in Tokyo. Currently she is devising fabric illustrations for a children's book as well as teaching embroidery to beginners, with plans for an advanced curriculum. Her own work is as lively and rich as a medieval manuscript.
Barbara Head writes, "A formal training and professional background in interior design originally fuelled my interest in textiles. As a designer/creator I endorse and promote fabric and fibre as material worthy to be seen, enjoyed and accepted as an art form in quilts, wallhangings and tapestries."
Patt Wilson (photo above) writes, "The texture and colour of fabric and the way it feels has long enthralled me. Combine those sumptuous qualities with a passion for stitching, and the possibilities are endless. I draw on an eclectric range of design subjects for my wearables and quilted hangings, and love the challenge of seeking to create an original piece while keeping the design and detail simple."
Opening Sunday June 6 from 10am to 1pm.
