Mulberry Paper Textiles
August 1-31 2009
In August, Vancouver plays host to a contingent of Korean fabric artists who have expressed their creativity using hanji, a mulberry paper yarn. Vancouver fabric artists have risen to the challenge to create our own unique expressions in this yarn. The Silk Weaving Studio is proudly participating in this event by staging a show featuring paper art, both woven and non-woven. Guest artist Judy Nakagawa will fill our display window with her handmade paper sculpture ”Gone” . Come and see the amazing array of works – you won’t believe you’re looking at paper!
