Sow to Sew Summer 2025 Artist-in-Residence

Nova Scotia is home to a growing number of farmers and craftspeople interested in exploring functional applications for locally grown fibre flax.
This residency at NSCAD University aims to foster connections between fibre producers and makers, by providing a site for studio-based making to creatively explore the potential of this material from the ground up.
This thematic residency invites makers to investigate the material qualities of fax fibre and its by-products to promote sustainable textile production. Intended outcomes of the residency include the development of new materials and products that can be applied to fine art, craft, and design applications, including for the body, interiors, or the built environment.
Application deadline: April 25, 2025
