studioclosed: 

…the fiveleft studio at 1000 parker closed june 1st 2023...it is good to brave change...without this shift the unstudio event would have not happend…and the team of people that produce fiveleft events would not be working together again…

backstory:

fiveleft was born through craft fairs over 16 years ago…we rolled in and out of cities across canada like the circus, selling handmade wears with other passionate makers of beautiful creations…after years of hustling on the road it was time to move on…

after leaving the craft fair circuit fiveleft became a custom/commission studio…this new premise slowly led to an uninspired space…one with deep ruts…ruts that left no room to imagine a different fiveleft…so i closed the studio.

but not without a crazy plan/idea… 

building creative spaces of engagement, producing fiveleft runway shows, and experiences as a performance/installation artist honed skills of creating visceral events…but i have been unable to express myself in this way for a long time…

newplans:

fiveleft will continue…fiveleft doesn’t need a fixed location anymore.

each spring we will create a concept and collection that will be revealed the following fall through the kind of poetic presentations that many of you have witnessed throughout fiveleft history…we will make beautiful things and tell stories through the events that present them…

unstudio was the first of this new cycle of creating and presenting…the Museum of Vancouver  hosted fiveleft frolics of fantastic proportions. It was an incredible success...and it paved the way for the next fiveleft frolic of fantastic proportion...

stay tuned!!!
