April – Susan Fohr
April 20, 2016 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Susan Fohr, Textile Museum of Canada
Susan Fohr is an avid knitter, spinner, sewer and natural dyer who lives in Toronto. Susan will share how her work as a museum educator has shaped her identity as both an educator and a maker.
She is currently the Education Programs Coordinator at the Textile Museum of Canada and formerly an historic interpreter at Black Creek Pioneer Village. She will highlight influential exhibitions and public programming initiatives that have revealed the powerful ways in which traditional craft practices have evolved to address contemporary issues.
