Katherine Soucie is an artist and designer who transforms textile industry waste into new textiles, clothing, and sculptural forms. She studied Fashion Design in Toronto before furthering her studies in Textiles and Visual Art in Vancouver. Since 2003, her experimentation with textile industry waste, specifically hosiery, has resulted in an extensive body of work for which she has received numerous scholarships, grants, and awards. Labour, history, craft, and technology continue to inform her research and her ongoing transformation of textile waste as a material resource.

Her (a)Mend project included a free explorative workshop series, running in July and August 2019, that encouraged participants to explore design, craft, and material activism, building in the co-creation of new sculptural work, which was exhibited at the Roundhouse in Fall 2019.
