2010 August


Weavers Unlimited   May 5th - August 8th, 2010  

http://www.textilemuseum.mississippimills.com/

   

This exhibition presents non-traditional approaches to handweaving as in garments and wearable art. The participants were encouraged to stretch the boundaries of handweaving by interpreting the theme ‘Weaving a Different View”. Through exploration of structure, colour, non-traditional materials and complex designs, weavers were challenged to be innovative and unconventional in their textile interpretation of everyday life. This exhibition will also display the process and design involved in weaving a different view.
