- ARTeries – Embroideries of the World: Kantha – Arlee explores ethnic embroidery.
- ARTeries – The Influences of Age – Using decomposition and aging effects in your work.

- ARTEries – The Plastic Arts – Soft Sculpture.
- ARTeries – Surface Tension – Exploring surface tension and its implications.
Arlee Barr is a Canadian artist, working primarily with textiles. She describes herself as “curious, eccentric and just a little opinionated“. Surrealist in thought, Fauvist at heart, Arlee likes the eclectic, explorative and absurd. Sprinkled around the interwebs, she can be found hanging around her fantastic blog and shop.
