Events at the Silk Weaving Studio
Guest fiber artists are often invited to show and sell new work at the Silk Weaving Studio. Recently, guest artists have included Akihiro Izukura, Rene Corder Evans, Anne Marie Andrishak and Brigitte Rice.
In addition, Studio weavers organize occasional group shows. In 2006 we created a show for “Men Only,” and in 2007 we presented “Indigo.” In 2008 Studio weavers will present “Buckles, Buttons and Beads” featuring embellished handwovens.
