 Tara BurseyGroup Show Coordinator (Love and Money at the OCC Gallery) Tara is an artist whose work encompasses sculpture and installation, craft, drawing, and self-publishing. Combined with the fact that she's a neophyte curator, it makes perfect sense that she's the one organizing and curating our first ever collaboration with the Onatrio Crafts Council - a two week group show in their Queen Street gallery. Crafts of Choice: food-craft, origami, embroidery, zine-making, crochet bastardization, weaving & printmaking. |

Leah is head bookateer at the Coldsnap Bindery and leads the Toronto chapter of the Church of Craft. In her not-so-spare time, Leah is a heavy metal star, too. Historically, she has been queen of all logistics and figuring. It would not be surprising if she was called upon to lend a hand or two, even all the way from Berlin where she now resides.
