Welcome to my website.

There are three strands to my work. I make abstract, colour-rich wearables that integrate knitting, sewing and embroidery into a coherent art statement that walks into the world instead of just hanging over your couch. I create wall hangings with a landscape focus because I love my Prairie home and find it a challenge to reflect it in coloured cloth and thread.

NEWS & EVENTS

Work available for purchase at:

Saskatchewan Craft Council, Saskatoon, SK

Thank you to everyone who came out to visit and purchase at the studio and gallery October 16 and 17. I plan to have a fall open house from now on - a great way to meet those up for an adventure driving in the country. The summer date for the Prairie Art Road Trip 2022 is Saturday, July 23 with Sunday as Plan B if the weather is wet.

Work is available by contacting the artist directly, email: echoppe@sasktel.net, or by phone: (306) 948-2947 [house], or (306) 948-7147 [cell]. My Shopify account has gone dormant, and I do not have the tech skills to keep it up, so please shop this site, or come for a visit to see the work in person. Fibre does not translate well via a website, but in person in natural light, is a different story. Many of my jackets, knitted pieces and some small wall hangings are not on the website, so if you are up for a mostly highway experience (only 2 miles of gravel), please phone and book a studio/gallery visit.

Unfortunately, plans to go to Regina for Wintergreen the end of October have been cancelled due to COVID. The Saskatchewan Craft Council is expanding its Broadway store front presence in Saskatoon until the first week of January, by renting the former Fosters Shoes space across the street. New work has been added to the shop and will be available on the online store as well. I hope you will be able to check it out, or shop from the comfort of home. Check out my new listings from my website under the Wall hangings tab.

The prices you see on work on the website now include taxes. I have capped my shipping costs at $20 and hope you will take advantage of this.

Work is also available at The Guardian Pharmacy in downtown Biggar.

March and April of 2022 Diane LaRouche Ellard and myself will have work showing at the Kerrobert Courtroom Gallery. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
