Any Age, Any Ability Welcome
During the pandemic, an unprecedented amount of crafting has occurred. From the first lockdown in March 2020, uncertainty, anxiety, and a whole lot more time at home has spurred us on to crafting as a soothing balm for our minds.
We want to see the textile projects that you completed in 2020 or are working on in 2021. Though it's been a while since we've seen you, we know that you've been making loads of things at home. We have recently launched a virtual gallery on our website, and we'd like to show your textile work. Whether you are a keen textile newbie, picking up a long-forgotten project, or making crafts with the kids – no matter! Any project, big or small, with a textile or fibre element to it is great.
Submit your work to our Virtual Gallery
Please send us a maximum of 3 of your best pictures of your textile craft project (we are a textile museum, after all!), with a short description of the work. Pictures with your name and description will be posted on our NEW virtual exhibit page (mvtm.ca/virtual-exhibits/). We will do our best to post all work submitted, however submissions will be selected for clarity and relevance.
Guidelines:
Description - Answer the following:
- Maker's name and location (Ex. Jane Smith, Almonte ON)
- Type of textile project (Ex. Finger knitted scarf) · What have you (or the maker) enjoyed about making it?
- How has crafting helped you during this time? (2 -3 sentences only please)
- Pictures: Take pictures as close as possible to the object, using daylight for clearest detail and best colour
Submit questions and files to Melanie Girdwood-Brunton at m.girdwood@mvtm.ca
Submission deadline: September 1, 2021
