You can bring this fourteen-year project to realization!
Between 2009 and 2024 Karen has undertaken the design of the 14 Stations of the Cross, a mini-pilgrimage of Jesus’ journey from condemnation by Pilate to the Cross. These designs for future fabric art have been toured across B.C. in 5 separate tours.
One Station (number 9), "Shattered", has now been created in fabric and was shown during the 2017 Anglican Foundation's exhibit: (in)finite: spiritual conversations in cloth, in Vancouver, B.C. as well as The Craft of Spirit; BC Liturgical Textiles at The Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver, B.C.
Now, Karen launches a new fundraising campaign with the goal of realizing all 14 Stations in fabric. Please join us to learn about how you can help bring this vibrant fabric art series to life!

Meet the artist:
Karen Brodie Archibald
Karen’s path to a career making liturgical fabric art began with a diploma in fashion design at the Phyllis Herndl College of Fashion 1988-89. Early jobs, pattern drafting, cutting and sewing in small factories, brought Karen to the technique of fabric appliqué. Self employment with these skills began in 1991 in Vancouver, B.C. with custom dressmaking, and the beginning of liturgical (church) art as Karen applied her new skills of fabric appliqué. Her life-long involvement in church, as well as a stint as a youth ministry worker, brought her to the intersection of these two passions.
For more than a quarter of a century from her studio in rural Golden, B.C., Karen’s sole work has been producing liturgical fabric art. This work has led to a large portfolio, being commissioned by churches and individuals of many Christian denominations across the continent and beyond. This includes hundreds of clergy and deacon stoles, vestments, altar sets, and banners large and small.
"As a Christian I have spent my life saying ‘Yes’ to the Spirit of God. This allows me to become a vessel for stories, symbols, movement, and emotion as I seek to illustrate God’s love for all people. It brings me joy to work with people from churches and clergy across the globe, to get to know fellow leaders and how I can best be in service to their ministry. Prayer and contemplation are a daily part of this process."
