Artist-in-residence Paige Gratland hosts an interaction of colour for weavers workshop on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at 6:00pm, at Oxygen Art Centre. This workshop is free to attend; however, registration is required and spaces limited.
This workshop will explore colour theory as it applies to weaving. Join artist in residence, Paige Gratland, as she shares some of her research on the topic and leads the group through some off-loom activities to create certain visual effect through yarn winding. The concepts aim to help participants better understand colour and how to work with it.
Paige Gratland learned to weave in 2019 at the Richmond Weavers and Spinners Guild and this topic is part of her research for her final year at the Master Weaver Program at Olds College.
To attend, please complete this registration form.
This workshop is scheduled during the Three Way Mirror residency with artists Daniel Barrow, Glenn Gear, and Paige Gratland at Oxygen Art Centre from July 3, 2026, to August 7, 2026.
The overarching residency considers how traditional crafts can convey queer stories and community, and how queer signifiers and strategies can express intersectional identities through conceptual craft-based practices. For each artist this has been a natural progression, resulting in the production of woven queer colourways (Gratland), glitter-bombs sealskins (Gear) and paper-doll poems (Barrow).
This workshop is free to attend and limited to six participants.
All materials and tools will be provided.
