Master weaver Shy Watters started her cedar and wool blanket design entitled Paddling Together on Saturday, Aug. 11 at Sechelt Library following a well-attended launch on Aug. 8.
This blanket is the first big artistic collaboration for the syiyaya Reconciliation Movement, called Weaving Reconciliation: The Fabric of Our Lives. The public is welcome to weave a part of the friendship blanket.
This weaving is the beginning of a one-year project designed to raise awareness and cultivate dialogue about reconciliation in our community.
Watters will be back at the library on Saturday, Aug. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Come and meet her, learn about her art and add your threads to the fabric of reconciliation on the Sunshine Coast.
Watters is pictured here with Nancy Smith.
