Joining me in my studio on Saturday 2-4pm and Sunday 11-1pm is the PB & J jazz quartet with Jerry Silver, Paul and Luke Bergman, and Dave Esler. **NOTE** Access to the studio is thru the parking lot (reserved parking only) at the back of the building. There are two reserved wheelchair parking spaces in the lot - via the laneway btwn Graveley & 1st Ave E. **BIO** Michelle Sirois-Silver designs and hand hooks rugs for the floor and wall. She was born on the Gaspe and grew up on Vancouver Island so it's not surprising that natural elements are recurring themes in her work. The rug hooking technique she uses is a traditional folk art popular in eastern Canada. Her contemporary style of hand hooked rugs embraces its spirit and traditions but the subject matter, designs, and sense of colour make her work uniquely west coast. **CV** She was awarded a development grant from the Surface Design Association for "Love, Decay, and Repair". Her work was selected for a CCBC solo exhibition "SHIFT" (2011), “Love, Decay, and Repair” (Maple Ridge Art Gallery - solo) (2012), “No Floors Required” (FibreWorks Gallery) (2011), Cultural Olympiad Art of Craft (CCBC) (2010), Contemporary Craft in British Columbia (CCBC) (2008), For the Love of Craft (ACC) (2010), and the Sum of the Parts Traveling Exhibition (SDA) (2007-2010).
