Katelin Thériault – Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design

Katelin Thériault

Katelin Thériault uses plant dyes and natural, upcycled, or repurposed fibres to produce small batch, slow fashion and art under the studio name, “cedar bay sage.” Born to a family of craftspeople who hunt, fish, trap, sew, paint, design, build, sing, dance, knit, and stitch, making and mending came naturally to this community-made artist. Driven by a keen desire to do good by the earth, Katelin finds inspiration in healing and regeneration, mending and cycles of revival, and the still quiet of a star-filled sky. Having lived around the world, including in Aberdeen, Scotland, Katelin is grateful to now call Unama’ki / Cape Breton home.
