Fibre Group Fun

The fibre workshop group, 10 of us, had lots of fun together. One evening we went to Jaynie's house for apple pie, wine and a visit to her studio. 

Jaynie was the inspiration behind the gathering of fibre art in Weyburn this summer. She organized the All Beings Confluence exhibit, the Abstracted exhibit by FAN (Fibre Arts Network), the Thread exhibit at the Signal Hill Art Centre by local Saskatchewan fibre artists and the Art Walk - a fibre art show in various local businesses. 

So much fibre art all in one place for us to view!  Very inspiring!!

At Jaynie's back yard. Notice the bonfire enclosure designed and built by her sculptor husband.  


Out for supper. A male admirer wanted to pay for our meals!  Guess we made an impression. 


Checking out the detail in Jaynie's work which was hanging at the credit union. The background sky in this piece, Rush Hour, is entirely constructed out of couched threads, not fabric. Incredible!!
Jaynie's current pieces use the couched threads on topographical designs. This piece, Monte Cliche, depicts a topographical map of a mountain, forest, river and lake with appropriate cliches written overtop. You have to see it to believe it!



All beautiful works by Jaynie!!
