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. |
