In her Mulmur studio, accomplished fabric artist Pat Burns-Wendland has produced a series of four handwoven silk kimonos representing the seasons of her life. With the assistance of the Reed Cooper Bursary from Dufferin Arts Council, Pat spent a year experimenting with paper lamination, a labour-intensive process using stencils made from old photos and other memorabilia, to create the works. Pat began her career as a spinner and now designs, dyes, weaves and sews her artistic clothing and accessories. She is also active in promoting awareness of fabric arts in the Headwaters community. patburnswendland.com
