An Installation Work by Medicine Hat Weavers: Marlene Hubbard | Carmen McBride | Phyllis Netolitzky | Katherine Rankin | Susan Siegle
Weaving is popular in most Canadian communities in its domestic craft form, as it is in Medicine Hat; this group of Medicine Hat’s weavers has created a unique, large-scale collaborative installation work incorporating their own weavings, which have been undertaken in connection with woven artefacts from the Esplanade Museum Collection. The exhibition will feature a hands-on, participatory element with weaving samples and small loom, to offer sensory experiences that increase accessibility for all.
