Picture, Needlework | C2 Centre for Craft

This embroidered picture of three daisies incorporates various shells, buttons and needle lace mounted on board. It was originally part of a skirt, but the artist didn’t like the way the skirt fit, so she turned it into a decorative piece. The buttons were from her grandmother’s button collection.

The C2 Centre for Craft is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
