Come share in "Woven Together" at the Silk Weaving Studio on Granville Island.
For the last thirty-fear years, the Studio has been blessed with a lively collaborative energy stemming from the creative cross-fertilization that takes place between both artists and visitors to the space. All of us at the Studio have been missing that over the past year as we continue to create in a more isolated work environment. The idea behind “Woven Together” is to infuse the space again with some of the connection and collaboration that have always made the studio thrive as a creative space. 

Six weavers have come together to weave a piece infused with their shared love and fascination for both silk and weaving, each bringing with them their own ideas and energy as they are inspired by where the last artist left off. A twenty-four metre piece of fabric created by artists in conversation through weaving, it is composed of a myriad of silks, both mulberry and wild, and silk blends, along with striking highlights of linen, wool, and stainless steel, from extremely fine to chunky handspun. 
 

“Woven Together” will be available for viewing in our window gallery from both outside and within a carefully controlled and COVID-conscious space open daily from 11AM-5PM, with a limit of three visitors inside at a time. The exhibition will be accompanied by an educational component including live silkworms, tracing the trajectory of the piece from silkworm to finished fabric.
