2022 Update

 The Wearable Art Sale, 2022:

We are currently contemplating a late fall show.

We will continue to follow public health advice and listen carefully to the medical scientists.

We'll let you know both here and on the Facebook page if (https://www.facebook.com/thewearableartsale/ )  any sooner possibilities come up.

After much consideration, we have decided that it is in everyone's best interest to postpone our event.

We plan to reschedule once we know more.

Jeanne-Marie

With my fine art background, including textile studies, I use my love of nature and fabric for inspiration. Wearable art appeals to my practical side while allowing for limitless creativity. The enjoyment I receive from revamping 

memorabilia and recyclables into practicalities is a challenge

 as fulfilling as creating anew. My work is anywhere from 

practical to zany. Jeanne - Marie

Mary MacVoy Wearable Art & Illustration

Felted micro-embroidered Wool Beads, Handmade Lampwork Glass Beads, Mixed Media with miniature drawings and paintings.

Mary's inspiration comes as a reaction to the results of the Industrial Revolutions, whereby now TIME is a precious commodity and materials are more easily sourced. This Wearable Art is a testament to patience and mastery of hand skills. Each piece is a unique collect-able.

Ardath Unicreations

As a knitter, fashion designer, writer and painter,Ardath’s art has been evolving over many years as she experimented with fibres, textures, freeform design and colour blending.Her hand knitted garments are fanciful, and like her distinguishing unicorn logo, are mysteriously beautiful, seem to live forever and can be worn to dance on moon beams or for a stylish presence anywhere.

Her art has been influenced by her Icelandic heritage, her family ,her travels, living in creative community ,her many teachers and her own Spiritual journey.

Each wearable art piece created by Ardath tells a story, incorporating textures other than fibres.Each piece is as unique as the wearer and brings a sense of the wearer’s personal style.Each garment has been hand knitted using a blend of natural and synthetic fibres and is meant to embrace the energy of the person it enfolds. 

Her art has been displayed in numerous art shows in Ontario and Manitoba and her art is hung or worn in other countries. One commissioned piece was for the first female President of Iceland and depicted Mother Sea,Fire and Ice.

Ardath believes that we are all born with creative energy and her Feelings and Fibres ,creative process workshops provide a consistent message of empowerment as this creative energy is unlocked, remembered  or re-discovered by participants enrolled in her classes.

Ardath’s watercolour paintings include poetry and fibre and have become popular as reproductions in the form of greeting cards and prints for hanging.

It is a delight to be a part of this Wearable Art Show.
