I'm finding it quite frustrating finding supplies for textile arts and mixed media in Calgary. It's one thing to scrounge, find, re-purpose or "upcycle" or thrift, but some of it has to be new! I never realized how spoiled i was when i lived in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island, being able to walk into Opus, Maiwa and Opulence Silk and Dyes when i needed something, and find what i needed, with knowledgeable staff as well!
Canada is a big place to navigate and we don't all have access to big city suppliers. To that end, i have added a module to my personal blog that will be a compilation of textile and mixed media art supplies, as i find them. If you have any CANADIAN sites you know of, please email me and i will add in another entry, or you may add in the comment section.
I know there is a website for Canadian artists, several in fact, but none of them are specifically for what "we" do, so am adding artists as well.
The page is here, and has an RSS feed as well.
