Meet your Instructor: Rosemarie Péloquin
Rosemarie Péloquin is drawn to ordinary people, those who make up the wallpaper of everyday life. She starts with clouds of wool and a tiny barbed needle. From the quiet, repetitive act of needle-felting emerges portraits that evoke a familiar nostalgia and wrestle stories from all who encounter them. Their size and material make them both accessible and vulnerable. Her work emerges from a background of design, teaching, coaching, travel, home and family. It is fuelled by a passion for discovering connections and the belief that Life’s richness is found in the ordinary and in the unexpected. She enjoys teaching needle-felting skills and introducing students to this soft, welcoming medium, so that they can see their own creations come to life.
Rosemarie is featured in video-reportages on Radio-Canada, TVA and TFO 24.7, has appeared in Fiber Art Now (US) and Textile Fibre Forum (AUD) magazines, and has participated in exhibitions in Manitoba, Alberta and B.C.
