Thank you for supporting the Ontario Crafts Council and the Washi Lockdown artists. We look forward to future opportunities for collaboration and promotion of fine craft.
Over the weekend the Washi Lockdown Team was very busy creating 38 unique collaborative pieces incorporating beautiful washi paper. Join us for a reception on June 11th from 6:30pm-9pm as we celebrate the creative energies of these amazing thirteen participants.
All items created are now available to purchase through a silent auction running in both our gallery space and online through this blog. 100% of funds raised from this auction will go to support the Council's programming and exhibitions schedule.
Place your bid now by e-mailing Karen Whaley at kwhaley@craft.on.ca and list the item number and your bid. You can also stop by the OCC Gallery located at 990 Queen St. West in Toronto to view the pieces in person and place your bid. The Washi Lockdown Auction will run June 9th, 10th and 11th and will close both live at the gallery and online at 8:00pm EST on Wednesday June 11th. Minimum starting bids are listed under each item along with the bid increase value.
Check back often to see if you are in the lead! We will be posting auction stats and will confirm by personal e-mail when you are in the lead.
