Join us at the Durham Art Gallery for our 2025 Creative Skill Sharing Workshop Series.
Participants will learn how to weave a “Mug Rug” or mini tapestry ideally sized and a coaster.
With an emphasis on using local wool. You will be taken through the process of warping your loom, different weave patterns, and colour combinations that reflect your sense of comfort and home.
Upon completion, everyone will leave with a completed mug rug, ready for your next cuppa.
INSTRUCTOR: When Jennifer was 7, her Dad made her a miniature farm for Christmas. A traditional mixed farm in miniature, complete with tiny hay bales and even a corrugated plowed field, gave Jennifer hours of imaginative play. Never outgrowing these two passions, Jennifer pursued a career in art, design, and, eventually, agriculture.
Jennifer Osborn began farming in 2007 on just over an acre and two sheep. Over the years, she has explored and experimented with the use of local waste wool, began the first international affiliate of Fibreshed, and spoken internationally about the value of waste wool. In 2022, the farm, All Sorts Acres, transitioned from sheep milk gelato by adding a fibre mill dedicated to processing, utilizing, and creating products out of waste wool called EcoWool Canada. She now grows her own art supplies and specializes in felting with local wool. She can be contacted at allsortsacres@gmail.com, www.Ecowoolcanada.ca
