Caribou Moss Embroidery Workshop | a workshop associated with the Galerie Buhler Gallery exhibit “Tending the Wild”
Saturday, October 25, 2025 | 12:30pm – 3:30pm
Duration: 3 hours
Skill Level: Beginner and above
If you are a novice embroiderer, this workshop is for you. Caribou moss is the inspiration for a free form work that uses colour, layering and only a few stitches to build a fanciful recreation of Cladonia rangiferin. Found in areas of alpine tundra, and in reality a lichen, it grows on the forest floor next with its wild neighbours.
You will be able to finish a small piece in the workshop, and if time permits, perhaps add a few leaves of another plant to complement it. A frame is included so you can hang it when you get home.
About the Instructor | Leona Herzog
Leona’s art practise focuses primarily on botanical watercolours and fibres. She has spent many hours in the forest with her pencils and watercolours recording plants in situ, pressing samples, and later taking advantage of dried specimens at the WIN Herbarium, University of Manitoba, for further study.
Her embroidery was in WIN Herbarium’s exhibition Dry Medium VII: Germinate, at the community gallery in Assiniboine Park Pavilion, and will be in Tending the Wild, curated by hannah_g, at the Buhler Gallery, 11 September – 15 November 2025.
Leona has served on many arts boards and is currently Co-Chair of the Board of Directors for MAWA (Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art) a national feminist arts organization.
Recent curatorial work includes Crafting Wellness – mind + body …at a cost, at C2 Gallery for Manitoba Crafts Museum & Library (March – April 2025); and Divergence & Connection at MHC Gallery (April-May 2025), a juried exhibition for FLASH photographic festival.
