Monday night's meeting will be preceded by a huge BOOK SALE in the building lobby. So plan to browse and buy!
This will be our last "spring" meeting; no July meeting, then we resume again on August 28.
The workshop is full and has a waiting list, but Yoshiko Wada's talk on Monday evening is open to everyone. She'll talk about Japanese boro cloth, which I suspect is related in some way to sashiko embroidery.
Yoshiko Wada - "Tattered Rags: The Art of Boro"
Yoshiko
Iwamoto Wada is an artist, author, exhibition curator, textile
researcher, and film producer. Long an exponent of traditional and
sustainable practices in fashion and textile production, she travels
throughout the world giving lectures and workshops, participating in
conferences to build greater insight into the world of fiber and
textiles. Join us as she talks about the development of Boro from the
repair and re-use of rags to its manifestations in contemporary art.
