Gallery Opening: Second Skin

The Fernie Museum is pleased to welcome back the Fernie Spinners & Weavers Guild for a second show featuring new work focusing on the sustainability and environmental aspects of hand made and locally produced garments.

In this new exhibit, the Fernie Spinners and Weavers Guild looks at fashion through the lens of sustainability and showcases how the natural fibre arts have a direct role to play in the growing Slow Fashion movement. Content encourages viewers to explore ways we can help make a shift away from the many negative impacts of Fast Fashion systems.

Items will include a variety of textiles produced from dyeing, spinning and weaving locally made yarns, plus stitched, knitted, felted and upcycled garments along with interpretive information.

OPENING RECEPTION | 7 PM, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15TH.
Join the artist for a preview of the exhibit in the gallery, with drinks by donation and complimentary appetizers. Admission is free and all are welcome. Donations to the Fernie Museum gratefully accepted and 2023 membership renewals will be available.
