For
our November meeting, we’re excited to hear from guild member and
textile artist Miriam Norris Omura, who will talk about her work as a
weaver in a program entitled “A Contemporary Shift on Double Ikat:
dye painted warp and weft.”
Miriam will do a brief lecture with
slide show and video clips giving a bit of background on traditional
ikat, showing images of four contemporary artists (including herself)
whose work pulls from ikat influences, and then Miriam will talk
specifically about her own process. She’s bringing samples of her
work so we can see her technique up close, and she will have detailed
handouts for those weavers who want to try their hand at the process.
Please join us for this exciting program. One of the great benefits
of a guild membership is getting to see what extraordinary work our
members do, and getting a chance to hear first-hand how they make the
magic happen.
