Francine (Fran) Higgins is a Dryden, Ontario–based crafter whose lifelong passion for sewing began in childhood, inspired by her mother’s skill and creativity. After receiving her own sewing machine upon graduating in 1977, she has continued to work with fabric as her primary creative outlet. While she has explored many crafts over the years, sewing remains her “happy place,” reflecting a deep connection to tradition, making, and everyday creativity.

ART BORUPS CORNERS SOCIETY

Art Borups Corners is a non-profit arts incubator based in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We bring artists, youth, and local residents together through hands-on creative projects, workshops, and storytelling rooted in everyday life in the North. Our focus is on making space for people to try things, share skills, and build confidence through art that grows out of where they live.


We’re also a place for testing ideas and working across different ways of making — from land-based practice to digital work and everything in between. Much of what we do happens through partnerships and shared projects, connecting local creative work with wider conversations while keeping things grounded, practical, and community-led.
