Tonight is the opening reception for the new show at Confluence Gallery in Twisp, titled Connecting Threads. The description from their website: “From the utilitarian to the purely decorative, fiber art is one of humanities oldest art forms. This exhibit will feature the wide range of modern fiber arts including, but not limited to, weaving, art quilts, felting, basketry, soft sculpture, embroidery, and hand-dyed textiles.”
They set it up this past week and it is pretty wonderful. I went in on Wednesday and took a few pictures of my two extended manifold twill shawls in 20/2 perle cotton and tencel. Also the small blanket or throw that is a series I am starting using my handspun yarn for weft, with Jaggerspun Green Line organic merino wool in 4 colors for the warp.
There are some woven jacquard pieces that appear based on photographs, very elaborate. I hope the artist is there and I can find out more about these. The labels say “handwoven” but are done on a computerized jacquard loom I presume.
