Her story
Wendy works out of her Three Stone Soup Fibre Studio in Lund, BC and has been instrumental in the arts and advocacy of the slow fashion/slow clothes movement on the upper Sunshine Coast since 2013. She was one of the organizers and contributing artists to the annual eCouture Fashion Show that ran from 2015 to 2019; was project coordinator of Fibre Space – a community drop-in workspace at Oceanview Education Centre; a founding partner in establishing eunoia fibre studio and gallery at the Townsite Public Market; and a passionate instructor and host of a series of stitching workshops offered throughout the Sunshine Coast and in her studio in Lund, sharing her passion for creating with fibre, heart and story.
Before the studio, a long-standing career in technology and adult learning, and years of work with Indigenous communities.
“All items are created from my own pattern designs and finished with Three Stone Soups signature hand stitched embellishments.”
Why stitch
“Following the rhythm and pull of the cloth, the needle and thread, brings a sense of calm and solace thru stitch in expressing who I am… a piece of my story. It is needle play that allows me to bring more of me to my work.”
The three stones
“…three glossy, wet stones, black as the deepest night, smoothed and rounded by the unrelenting shaping of the waves.”
The cloth
“My linen now comes from an eastern Canadian supplier, whose sources their linen from eastern Europe. My Harris Tweed was woven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and my threads are sourced through an Alberta company who is a supplier of threads from Spain.”
