Turkey and Textiles - November 2011

Turkey and textiles - of COURSE they belong together - at least at OUR house.

Breaking away from the mashing of many potatoes, I packed up work to ship across the country for Woven Stories: Contemporary Tapestries, an exhibit from December 10 through January 28, at the Ann Street Gallery in Newburgh, New York. It's right across the river from the Dia Beacon, so visitors can easily make a day of it.

In the mailbox on Thanksgiving Monday (a.k.a. the day we eat only lettuce) was the latest edition of Shuttle Spindle and Dyepot, with details on the international fiber conference Convergence 2012 . So now I can make the big announcement. Not only am I teaching two seminars at Convergence, but ARTSgarage and my studio are included on a tour that visits the Los Angeles County Museum of Art textile collections, the Craft in America Study Center and Freehand Gallery. My work will be on display at the Study Center, which is very, very cool. I'm so excited!
