paper and cloth: a pop-up studio evolved through a shared interest in natural and sustainable practices in the art studio and in daily life and has developed a seasonal relationship with the flora and found materials of our immediate surroundings: a response to the general disconnect between daily human life and the natural world. Gathering and harvesting local plant materials in season for use in the art studio celebrates the bounty of our rich and diverse region.

All paper and cloth:a pop-up studio workshops will take place at Artspeak Gallery, 1942 Wyandotte St E, in Windsor, ON.

Home County wrap-up

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see us at Home County this weekend! The festival was very good to us and we had a great time. It was wonderful to spend a few days back in my old neighbourhood, and to reconnect with some London folks including former classmates, former teachers, and even my beloved former boss John from For The Art of It gallery, where I used to be a picture framer in another life. We’re already looking forward to being part of the festival again next year.

We’re very pleased and grateful to have been chosen for the festival’s Fresh & First award, given to a craft vendor new to the festival who brings a fresh and creative new approach. We worked hard to make our booth fun and inviting and it was gratifying to have that recognized!

Open Streets Windsor 

Windsor’s first Open Streets event was wildly successful, and our street was packed with bicycles and pedestrians all morning long! Here are a few photos from the spray and stencil party we presented in partnership with the Arts Council Windsor Region.
