Storytelling Collection
Storytelling is the first of our specialty collections and as a Toronto-based firm, we decided it should focus on Canadian artists. Creative Matters has long been interested in translating visual artworks into carpet. In 2015 we converted 27 contemporary paintings to handtufted area rugs for the Canadian High Commission in London. And in 2018 we completed a major project with Inuit art when we transformed small felt-based artworks into enormous handmade wall hangings for the Iqaluit airport in Nunavut.
The success of these projects prompted us to collaborate further with Canadian artists to develop specialty handmade rugs dedicated to their unique and enchanting imagery. With these unique collaborations we bring each artist’s work to life in the new medium of wool (or wool and silk).
Part of the proceeds of each rug sold goes to the original artist as a commission.
