As well, Hilary is offering a trunk show/presentation, “Along the Silk Road” 

It is said that all things are connected. Each of us moves through our lives, one thing leading to another, the way the silk journey of long ago was a continuous journey. While selling silk was part of it, it also acted as a conduit for thoughts and ideas. In her inspirational talk, textile and mixed media artist Hilary Rice will share her story – a story full of chance meetings and doors opening, fun experiments and happy accidents. It is a journey that acts as a conduit for thoughts and ideas - a journey that winds through a progression of art quilts and into a new world of creativity.

The trunk Show is being held at 7:00 p.m. Oct. 21 at Hugh John Flemming Forestry Complex, Fredericton (across from Regent Mall).  Open to the public.  Admission $5.

  2. Holly - If you join SAQA (SAQA.com) you will automatically become a member of the Atlantic Canada region if you live in NS, NB, PEI or Newfoundland and Labrador. If you live outside the region you can select Atlantic Canada as a secondary affiliated region when you join (and change that affiliation at any time).

    Thanks for your interest.
