Time: Meeting starts at 6:30
Date: LIVE virtual meeting
Julie Rosvall grew up in New Brunswick, and moved to Wolfville, Nova Scotia, in 1998 where she started her career as a textile artist. Rosvall is a juried member of Craft Nova Scotia and Craft New Brunswick for spinning, dyeing, knitting, printmaking, and architectural concrete. From 2003–22 Rosvall worked with Craft Nova Scotia in a variety of roles, and remains committed to fostering the fine craft community and making connections within the culture sector through collaborations across industries. She uses specific tools to transform her knitted lace into exquisite prints. As a skilled lace knitter, Julie creates scarves and shawls that are beautiful in their own right—but it’s what she does with them after she’s finished knitting that makes them extraordinary. In her light-filled studio near the sea in Nova Scotia, Julie uses textile relief printing and soft-ground copper etching to capture knitted texture and pattern on paper, creating detailed prints that have graced greeting cards, gallery walls, and more than one enthusiastic knitter’s home. “I believe that all knitting is art, but it’s a practical, and in some cases ephemeral, art,” says Julie. “Whether you’ve made a shawl or a pair of socks, that can represent weeks of your life. Printing the textile on paper is my way of recognizing that.” Please join the Guild on February 12, 2024, for a virtual presentation where Julie will share the unique and delightful aspects of her craft.
