Lisa Horvath is a textile artist who maintains her Carmine Studio blog, and we are featuring her this month.   I asked Lisa a couple of questions about herself and what she does.  Lisa is recent graduate of the two year Textile Arts Diploma program at Capilano University. 

Q:  What is your favourite textile technique and why?

A: My favorite textile technique is hand spinning yarn because I can create any color and style of yarn I want for all my projects, even though I just end up keeping the yarn for how it looks instead of using it.
 


Q: How do you design the yarns you make? 

A:  I usually just go with my intuition.  I am currently working on a line of naturally dyed yarn with a larger quantity of yardage.
 


Q:  Do you have any upcoming shows or events?

A:  I have two upcoming events.  The first one is "Sheep to Shawl" on May 22, 2010 at the Surrey Museum.  It's a competition between local weaving and spinning guilds to make a shawl from scratch with in 4 hours.  The second event is the "Maplewood Farm Sheep Day" in North Vancouver on May 30th, 2010.  It's a day full of sheep sheering, herding and other cuddly animals.  A few girls from the Textile Arts program at Capilano will be there with a table showing visitors how sheep fleece can be used after it has been taken from the sheep.
