Fan Reed Demonstration July 14th

Posted July 15, 2024

The Woolhouse loom had been set up with the guild’s fan reed and a demo warp. Members came in and were shown how the system worked and got the opportunity to try it out themselves. Many wonderful samples (also including scarves and a top that had been done on other looms, but with this same reed) were on display.

Repetition in rebuilding

Alberta Craft Discovery Gallery

February 15 – March 29, 2025

Reception: February 15, 2 – 4pm

Building a home, a home that is constructed of lint and thread, of intimacy and affection. To build a home that is constantly, intentionally being taken apart, only to be rebuilt.

Kate Ritchie is a Calgary-based textile artist whose practice consists of unweaving and reweaving, focusing on the transformative possibility of radical care, and the infinite ability for objects and people to come apart and back together again, reveling in the hems, selvedges, and seams.
