Luba Briginets: Stories in Thread
September 4 – November 1, 2026
The Foundry Art Centre is pleased to announce the opening of Stories in Thread, a solo exhibition by Luba Briginets.
Briginets’ current work brings together meticulous handwork, contemporary design, and a love of color and texture. Through embroidery, she creates unique works that explore the relationship of traditions, materials, and techniques reimagined through a contemporary perspective. Briginets’ creative work spans sculpture, fiber arts, embroidery, and painting, with a practice that reflects a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, materials, texture, and the expressive possibilities of traditional techniques.
Originally from Russia, Briginets is a visual artist and educator with over 20 years of dedicated teaching in art and art history at the high school level. As both artist and educator, she is passionate about creativity, artistic exploration, and the importance of art as a way to connect ideas, traditions, and personal expression.
Stories in Thread will open in the East Gallery of the Foundry Art Centre on Friday, September 4, 5-8pm, as part of the Foundry’s First Friday programming. Art activities, live music by Lo Stone, the Foundry bar, and more will be available throughout the evening. The unveiling of Amy Reidel’s three-part work Cradle & Fall: The Grand Hall Version will also be unveiled that evening. Exhibitions by Quinn Antonio Briceño, Ido Michaeli, and Common Lore will be on view in the Main Galleries.
Stories in Thread will remain on view through November 1st.
