See What Weave Got!

Loominations features creations designed and woven by artist Karen LeBlanc, including: elegant shawls, exquisite scarves, fringe vests, jackets, ponchos, table runners, baby blankets, cards, and tartan heart and horse ornaments.

Karen successfully installed 3 public art pieces – check out the Public Art tab to see more! She participated in the Harm to Harmony Residency with the Conservation Council of NB. And she is a participant in the 2024-2025 Beneath the Surface Retreat and Installation program with CraftNB and Fundy National Park. Stay tuned for more information and images in the coming months!

In 2021, Karen created a “Hang a Heart” project to increase awareness of reconciliation with the First Nation communities. This “Hang-A-Heart” project helped open the reconciliation dialogue with the general public and has been the subject of an article in the Daily Gleaner (pdf, paywall) and also a story and video featured on CTV Atlantic News.

Her studio and gallery is situated along the beautiful Wolastoq, also known as the Saint John River. With the current public health issues, the physical gallery is somewhat limited, but that soon may be changing. The studio and gallery is a pleasant spot to view the many items on display, to discuss creations, projects and all the techniques and materials that may be used. The online gallery is, of course, always available.
