LINE DUFOUR, THEA HAINESPart of the 19th Annual Subtle Technologies Festival—SEAMLESS VISIONS—the Mobile Artist Studio Tour marks Subtle Technologies’ first-ever traveling event and aims to showcase the Golden Horseshoe as a region ripe with fibre-based experimentation. Registered participants will travel by charter bus in and around the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area to the studios of three contemporary textile artists, enjoying private tours and technical demonstrations at each stop. Participants will also be treated to on-bus activities such as a curators’ talk and the opportunity to try their hand at weaving on a small-scale frame loom with yarn. All hosting artists are members of Craft Ontario who balance handcraft and traditional textile processes with emergent technologies. -Stop #1: Line Dufour (Holland Landing)Demo: Weaving with fibre opticsStop #2 : Amanda McCavour (Toronto) Demos: Digital embroidery & working with water-soluble fabricStop #3 : Thea Haines (Hamilton) Demo: Mixing and applying plant-based dyes--Photo: Close-up of embroidery by Amanda McCavour*Tickets are available for online purchase only
