#HopeAndHealingCanadaCommunity
Weaving Workshops with Tracey-Mae Chambers
Join Guelph’s 2024 Artist in Residence, Tracey-Mae Chambers, at the Art Gallery of Guelph to contribute to a community weaving project. Sparking conversations about reconciliation, her ongoing initiative called #HopeAndHealingCanada has developed through workshops and textile installations across the country since 2021. Add your favorite colour from the materials provided and help weave our community together! Participants can also create a 4-inch round weaving project to take home.
This is a drop-in program with no registration required; all necessary materials are provided by the artist. All ages are welcome, though participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
