Join Alberta Craft Council and Natalie Gerber for a fun and informative workshop and learn about surface pattern design and silkscreen printing. You will be printing your own beautiful linen holiday stocking.
About the artist: Natalie Gerber began her studies in 1995 at The Natal Technikon, in the Fashion Design program, Durban (South Africa). After immigrating to Canada her interests in textiles and design developed while studying at The Alberta University of the Arts, formerly known as Alberta College of Art + Design. Natalie earned a BFA Degree (with Distinction) in Fibre/Textiles in 2003, and later in 2007, a post-graduate Certificate in Creative Pattern Cutting for the Fashion Industry, from the London College of Fashion in London (England).
Having recently completed a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Craft from the Alberta University of the Arts, Natalie is currently engaged in a comprehensive exploration of the boundaries and potentialities of textile forms. Her work critically examines the intersection of traditional techniques and contemporary practices, positioning her contributions within a broader discourse on craft and materiality in the arts.
Natalie’s work can be found in select boutiques and galleries across Canada, or in her Calgary-based textile printing studio located at cSPACE.
