His passion has allowed him to continue to grow\, innovate\, and expand his artistry through Legin Knits and Art Of Crochet. The focus on fashion is to make “Original” one of a kind pieces for collections and for personalized custom orders. He also adds crochet to already made items to renew into “Uplifted”(upcycled) pieces\, giving them new life! Legin started teaching crochet to his friends and youth in his community immediately after learning. He felt the connection to passing this art form on\, while building a business to open up opportunities for himself and others. When encountering individuals he taught\, they always express their gratitude and strong belief that learning crochet gave them values that apply to their lives.

SUMMARY:Limited Time Only
DESCRIPTION:On View: Limited Time Only\nIn tandem with the release of  Air: Courting a Legend\, we’re excited to release our iconic\, original Air Jordan for an exclusive short-term viewing from April 6 to May 14.  \nThe first Air Jordan was a leather high-top designed by Peter Moore in the Chicago Bulls colours. When Michael Jordan debuted a prototype of his signature shoe during his 1984 rookie season\, he was reprimanded by the NBA for not following its uniformity of uniforms rule. It was pure advertising gold\, infusing both Jordan and his sneakers with the aura of rebellion. As a Nike commercial put it\, “On October 15\, Nike created a revolutionary new basketball shoe. On October 18\, the NBA threw them out of the game. Fortunately\, the NBA can’t keep you from wearing them.” The first Air Jordan made more than $100 million in the first ten months. Since the release of the first commercially available Air Jordan in 1985\, there has been a new iteration every year\, but the original Air Jordan remains one of the most popular sneakers ever created.

SUMMARY:Terrarium Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Cost: $60/person\nFriends of the BSM: $40/person\nWhen: Saturday\, May 13 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm\nLength: 1.5 hours total\nWhere: Footprints Lecture Room at the Bata Shoe Museum (327 Bloor St. W.) \nIn celebration of our upcoming exhibition In Bloom: Flowers and Footwear\, the Bata Shoe Museum is excited to host terrarium making workshops with Alexandra Vella from Alexscapes! Celebrate nature by inviting a small piece of it into your home. In this workshop\, participants will be able to make their very own terrarium inspired by wabi-sabi\, the Japanese tradition of finding beauty in imperfection\, impermanence and change.\nParticipants are welcome to bring their own plants to incorporate into their terrarium if they wish. \n\n \nBUY YOUR TICKETS  \nPlease present your ticket at the Front Desk upon arrival. \nThis workshop will take place in-person in Footprints at the Bata Shoe Museum (located on the ground level). All materials and equipment will be provided. Each ticket includes admission to the museum. Please arrive 5-15 minutes prior so that the workshop can begin on schedule. Limited spots available. If you no longer can attend and would like to request a refund\, please email info@batashoemuseum.ca \nABOUT THE HOST\n \nBased in Toronto\, Alexscapes is driven by the natural world  and aims to recreate its most inspiring elements in the home — Specializing in terrariums and aquascaping\, Alex’s goal is to create a sense of peace and calm for people living in an urban landscape.  \nFrom Alex: So much of aquascaping is trying to manipulate the natural world\, but we are always at the will of growth and the constantly changing evolution of nature. Nature itself is wabi sabi and beautifully imperfect. Wabi: to live a pared down life in tune with nature\, while the fluid life of whatever is planted in it\, exemplifies Sabi: or the passage of time. Showcasing terrarium plants within minimalist glass vessels embraces the imperfections of nature as a way to highlight the beauty in objects with history and life\, appreciating the minor details and taking time to slow down. Bringing the beauty of nature into the home adds a life full of soul\, and a beauty that celebrates the impermanence and the incomplete. It means living in a way that appreciates the beauty and the details of the mundane and encourages us to stop and appreciate the small things in life that we have a tendency to overlook.

Nature itself is wabi sabi and beautifully imperfect. Wabi: to live a pared down life in tune with nature\, while the fluid life of whatever is planted in it\, exemplifies Sabi: or the passage of time. Showcasing terrarium plants within minimalist glass vessels embraces the imperfections of nature as a way to highlight the beauty in objects with history and life\, appreciating the minor details and taking time to slow down. Bringing the beauty of nature into the home adds a life full of soul\, and a beauty that celebrates the impermanence and the incomplete. It means living in a way that appreciates the beauty and the details of the mundane and encourages us to stop and appreciate the small things in life that we have a tendency to overlook.
