Kubilai Khan’s court was a mix of Byzantine officials, mystical Chinese dragons; nomadic fortunetellers, veiled Persian ladies; Syrian jugglers and masked Venetian merchants. Masks have long been used as cultural and spiritual expressions in many lands. Nobility and commoners alike wore masks during the Carnival season to conceal their identities. The masks served to equalize everyone and alleviate class tensions.
We celebrate the ‘mask’ at the Silk Purse, with an exhibition by leading BC Clay Artists & Cap College Alumni.
Opening Reception: TUESDAY, May 27th from 6-8pm
Free Clay Mask Demo
Saturday, May 31st from 1- 2pm

In seventeenth century women's headgear began to emerge. A maker of women's hats, was first recorded in 1529, referring to the products for which Milan and northern Italy was well known. Purses were first used by men, but after the French Revolution, women’s handbags became popular, with beautiful beaded and embroidered details. Join us at the Silk Purse, 1570 Argyle Avenue, West Vancouver, BC as we celebrate our 40th anniversary with a collection of art in oils, watercolours, clay, textiles and mixed media of those objects of desire by the discerning woman - hats and purses!
Opening Reception: Tuesday, July 8th from 6-8pm
