Painting in Thread: Fibre talk at North Hills Museum. July 19.

Paul Paquette, a member of SOFAAR and needlepointer extraordinaire, will be giving a very interesting talk on the history of European tapestry.

“… from the 8th century B.C. through the medieval age and the Renaissance. Its demise as an art form due to stylistic changes between the 17th and 19th centuries will be explored. Finally, its rebirth by 20th century hobbyists will be examined.”

This talk will take place at North Hills Museum as part of the Salt Box Talks of Adult Lectures.

Cost: $6.00 per person

Time and Date: Tuesday, July 19th, 2016, 7 to 9 pm

Registration is required. Please call 902-532-2168 or e-mail the museum at: <northhillsmuseum@gmail.com> to reserve your space.

SOFAAR launch a great success!

SOFAAR’s launch was a huge success in Annapolis Royal.

Well over 250 people visited our exhibit at Saint Luke’s Hall in Annapolis Royal on June 3rd and 4th to help us launch our fibre arts group.

We are now a group of 45 members!

Here are some pictures of that event:
