Join surface designer Natalie Gerber for an intro to silkscreen printing. Print a fun one-of-a-kind holiday stocking!

Join Alberta Craft Council and Natalie Gerber for a fun and informative workshop and learn about surface pattern design and silkscreen printing. You will be printing your own beautiful linen holiday stocking.
About the artist: Natalie Gerber began her studies in 1995 at The Natal Technikon, in the Fashion Design program, Durban (South Africa). After immigrating to Canada her interests in textiles and design developed while studying at The Alberta University of the Arts, formerly known as Alberta College of Art + Design. Natalie earned a BFA Degree (with Distinction) in Fibre/Textiles in 2003, and later in 2007, a post-graduate Certificate in Creative Pattern Cutting for the Fashion Industry, from the London College of Fashion in London (England).
Having recently completed a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Craft from the Alberta University of the Arts, Natalie is currently engaged in a comprehensive exploration of the boundaries and potentialities of textile forms. Her work critically examines the intersection of traditional techniques and contemporary practices, positioning her contributions within a broader discourse on craft and materiality in the arts.
Natalie’s work can be found in select boutiques and galleries across Canada, or in her Calgary-based textile printing studio located at cSPACE.

Studio Theatre (Level 1)
November 21 – 22, 2025

Written by Nikki Loach and presented by Quest Theatre, The Understandable Girl tells the story of Myla, the new girl at school. She doesn’t speak English; she dresses up and brings flowers for the teacher on the first day. Canada is a strange new place that is now, unexpectedly, her new home. She doesn’t understand much of what is going on, will anyone be her friend?
The Understandable Girl is a story of the importance of a first friendship between a young Canadian girl and young Ukrainian refugee told through the universal language of creative play and puppetry using English and easily understood Ukrainian. The play demonstrates how little imagination it takes to understand someone if you really listen.

Alberta Craft Council Presents: Artist Reception for Victoria Sanchez

Alberta Craft Council Presents: Artist Reception for Victoria Sanchez

RSVP HERE

Everyone is invited to meet the artist at this free SPOTLIGHT Reception for Traces of Becoming by Victoria Sanchez

We are pleased to host a public reception with the artist in attendance on November 22 from 2-4 pm.
About the artist Victoria Sanchez
Artist Statement:
“Traces of Becoming” reflects a conscious yet playful return to making — a rekindling of my art/jewellery practice as I learn to be a mother and navigate a journey of healing and acceptance. Much like Parenthood, my ideal process is rooted in passed-on knowledge, increasingly shaped by instinct and trust. The handmade mark, the hammer, the unrepeatable form — each trace becomes both a decision and a memory: an echo of care, of intention, and of the quiet hope that I might get it right.
Artist Bio: Victoria Sanchez is a jeweller, visual artist, and arts administrator currently based in Treaty 7 land — Calgary. a jeweller by training (ACAD 2012), she likes to explore the intent of personal adornment, spontaneity and adaptation, and most importantly, making with intention and the evidence of human touch.
Reception: Saturday, November 22, 2025 | 2 – 4 pm
