Living Heritage Podcast Ep109 Textiles, Dyes, and the Art of Craft



Kerri Ivany is a textile artist in St. John’s. She graduated from the College of the North Atlantic’s Textiles program in 2013 and now has a studio space at Quidi Vidi Plantation, where she makes clutch purses, cards, dyed fabrics, and embroideries. Kerri’s art is inspired by the natural world.

In this episode, Natalie Dignam chats with Kerri about how she got started in her art, organic patterns, the shibori dye process, and what it means to be a juried member of the Craft Council of NL.

This episode is part of a series of programs in partnership with the Memorial University graduate course Folk 6740 - Public Folklore, and the Craft Council of NL, to document craft traditions in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
