Join us for the opening of Jorie Johnson’s exhibition Warm Biz at the Silk Weaving Studio.

Friday, Oct. 14, 2011 6 – 8pm

Jorie will be in attendance, visiting from her home in Kyoto, Japan. This exhibition is part of the Maiwa Symposium 2011. The exhibition will continue until Tuesday November 15th

Jorie has developed her own innovative approach to the 8,000-year-old central-Asian technique of feltmaking. By working various materials such as silk, rayon, and mohair into the felt product, Jorie obtains painterly textures that are never static. Rich colours complement the fibre variations resulting in a cloth that speaks with a voice of lightness and strength.
