Wenona Blanket Shawl 12/15

Description

Using patchwork as a ritual for peace, a form of archival artistry and a means for unspoken storytelling, our Wenona Blanket Shawl becomes a living landscape through colour, texture and the human emotion held in each stitch. With origins and date stamps unknown, each one of a kind composition is crafted in a combination of salvaged heirloom blankets once knit or crocheted quietly as life and time passed by. Full of love, warmth, thought and touch, the slowness of this sacred craft has travelled decades to find its way here, piece by resilient and remarkable piece. We know we don’t have to tell you about the endless style and function possibilities waiting to unfold, but we will add one small note about hanging this work of wearable art on your wall, rather than inside your closet. 

Due to the limited nature of our salvaged heirloom pieces, all sales are final.

Made with love in Toronto since 2003
