Signing off.......

It's been a fabulous two years, words cannot describe my love for this Textile Art Program. It has truly changed my life.  Come Fall I will begin the final two years of my degree in the Fibres Program at Concordia University in Montreal (along with Emily McIntyre).  I am very excited for what lays ahead.

So, I am signing off with the hopes that I will be attending the sale in the years to come as an alumni and look forward to seeing this site updated, in the many winter seasons to come, by future students.

Thanks for your support and interest in the Textiles Program Student Sale.  Come back next winter for updates on the next sale.

Ciao,

Emily weaving for the sale

Today Emily began weaving the 7 meters of fabric for what will be a cropped double-breasted jacket, a pattern she designed herself while at UFV fashion school. The lovely pattern you're seeing is an undulating twill which she is weaving with a 50% silk 50% wool blend yarn, half of which is hand-dyed by her.
