The competition was an excellent example in this case the exquisite sewing and of howthe art of handicraft of benefit embroidery can be related to the art of Dance. The event was to the Council and to the Alberta Ballet Company. It will be exciting to see moreof these col laborative projects in the future. industry for The variety and quality of craft work constitutes an important displays Showcase the Province representing all those involved in crafts.
