| The
East Gallery is presenting Woven Together: Experience and Expression,
an exhibition of gorgeous woven textiles from the Loom & Shuttle
Guild, a San Francisco-based weaving guild founded in 1948. There
are colorful scarves, wonderfully crafted jackets and other pieces
of clothing, as well as wall-hung art pieces. The techniques used
range from spinning and weaving to tapestry, and from kumihimo,
a Japanese form of braid-making, to weaving on a rigid heddle loom.
These highly talented artists will give the following series of
demonstrations during their exhibit.
