Harmony Arts, West Vancouver’s mid-summer arts festival, showcases a Slow Clothes Day, Tuesday August 6.
A
Slow Clothes Fashion show, featuring the work of artists working in
various fibre media to produce one-of-a-kind garments, will be presented
on the main stage at the foot of 15th St., West Vancouver, at noon. The show will offer the work of over a dozen artists, and is being co-ordinated by VGFA members, Monica Brammer, Deb Ryan, and Ros Aylmer.
There will be an opportunity to have a close up look and purchase from the artists, after the fashion parade.
At 3pm that afternoon, Charllotte Kwon,of Maiwa Handprints will present Waiting For the Monsoon, Slow Clothes in India.
Join Charllotte as she explains her involvement with the peoples of
India to bring the work of their artisans to markets right here in
Vancouver.
Slow
Clothes are made, one at a time, by artisans steeped in the history and
traditions of the process, and whose work results in articles of
singular beauty. Two events not to be missed by lovers of fine textile
work.

As food for thought and a "jog" for action, i'm including a link to a friend in Ontario. Some of it is a bit personal to the writer, but she raises some good points about being a "member" of *any* group.

All good points in that link.
I hope we get even more going this coming year in Alberta... Beware, I might call on YOU for help. I have found folks here in Alberta only too willing to help me organise - Thanks again... and the more help the better I say, so come forward and let's do more of what You want.
