Threadworks
returns for its final year at Wellington County Museum and Archives
(WCMA) with this year’s theme, ‘Flashback’. Organized by the Threadworks
Committee, you will not want to miss this spectacular display,
showcasing a delightful variety of fibre art from across Canada.
The mandate of Threadworks has been to mount, every three years, a juried
exhibition of exceptional creative needlework stitched by artists
from across Canada. Since its inception in 1987, Threadworks has been sponsored by the
Wellington County Museum and Archives. After an inaugural exhibition at
the WCMA, the show travels the Province of Ontario for up to three
years and is exhibited in many museums and galleries.
The 2016 entries are now closed.
A big thank you to all the artists who submitted their work!
This exhibition promises to be truly beautiful and representative of the
talent of Canadian Artists from provinces across this great country.

The 2016 theme for the artwork submitted was FLASHBACK.
What does that word bring to your imagination? Just how far back does it take you? Whether it’s to your own youth, your Grandmother’s time or pre-history, anything other than this minute or tomorrow qualifies. Here are a few suggestions: Fashion, Art Deco, Architecture, Environment/Nature/Fossils, Summer Camp, Holidays, Music (e.g. song titles), War, Hippies, Home, Death, Grandma’s influence/Ancestors, Weddings, Babies...
Come see how the artists have interpreted their memories and "flashbacks" in all new work for Threadworks 2016.
So many thanks to the Show Co-ordinators are Elizabeth Duggan Litch and Sharron Begg, and the
Jury liaison for the 2016 Exhibition was Kathleen Bissett.
