In January 2009 I attended the “Inspired Design: Jacquard and Entrepreneurial Textiles” Conference at Blue Ridge Community College, in Hendersonville, North Carolina, organized by the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, University of North Carolina. In August, I spoke at the European Textile Network’s conference held at Textile Centre Haslach in Upper Austria. In between those two events, I attended the launch of the UK based Telos Art Publishing’s “Art Textiles of the World: Canada”, the latest in their series of books on textile art, as well as the exhibition accompanying the publication at the Montreal Centre for Contemporary Textiles. What I discovered at these events is that outside of Canada there is an incredible interest in what is going on in Fibre and Textile Arts inside of Canada. | | fibreQUARTERLY is a non- affiliated, independent Canadian Textile and Fibre Arts/ Craft and History on-line magazine. it is produced with the volunteer contributions of artist, writers, curators and educators Are You the weft in our warp, a writer, an artist, check out our 2009-2010 Call for Submissions (click on side menu) for more information contact us at:
