Join us on Saturday, Nov. 9th for an afternoon of traditional Mennonite patterns and printmaking with 2024/2025 Artist-in-Residence Margruite Krahn!MARGRUITE KRAHN restores and re-imagines hand painted Mennonite house barn floor patterns from the turn of the 20th century. Her work engages with the contrast of home as sanctuary and as a place that holds conflict, alongside changing traditions and practices of beauty.
WORKSHOP DETAILS:
- 12:30 PM - Begin at the GREBEL GALLERY (Conrad Grebel University College, 140 Westmount Road North, 4th Floor, Waterloo) with an artist tour of Margruite's Re-surfacing: Mennonite floor patterns exhibit. This exhibit brings to light the beautiful and practical testaments of Mennonite women's self-expression despite the economic and gender constraints of 19th and 20th century rural Manitoba.
- 1:00 PM- Participants walk together (25 min) or find their own transportation to nearby Brubacher House.
- 1:30 PM - Meet at BRUBACHER HOUSE (Frank Tompa Dr., Waterloo) for a printmaking workshop with Margruite, refreshments and a tour of the 1850's house. Using the traditional methods Mennonite women used to paint their floors, participants will design and create 11"x17" cardstock mats that can be hung on the wall or used as a place mat.
