We Weave: A Sampler from the Art Studio

We are very appreciative of the support, encouragement and help of members of Harmony Weavers Guild in getting the “We Weave” exhibit hung at the Hockessin Public Library. It’s been very exciting to see all the pieces woven by members of the Weaving Studio and to see everyone who came out for the Opening Reception on Saturday, February 2. The exhibit will continue until March 6, 2019.

The Fabric of life | The Harmony Weavers Guild, September 30, 2017 – January 14, 2018

Harmony Weavers Guild, The Fabric of Life exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum

Founded in 1971, the Harmony Weavers Guild is dedicated to the making of cloth—a process involving time-consuming techniques. Created by hand, the works of art highlight attention to design and detail and to richness of color and of textures. Such features invite the viewer to think about the artist’s process and to appreciate the textiles that are so much a part of everyday lives. The exhibition includes fabrics designed for public spaces, for wearable art, and for the home.

For an in-depth look at the background of the pieces on display, the artists who created them and the techniques and insights they used, browse through our Look Book.

Artists: Toni Ammons, Susan Balascio, Sandy Buckworth, Gail Caron, Perry Drevo, Nancy Everham, Pat Field, Deborah Lewis-Idema, Carol Ireland, Maureen Kamerick, Steffenie Oliver Kirkpatrick, Karen Mason, Harriet Memeger, Sandy Meyer, Gynnie Moody, Jane Porter, Lucy Rosen, Linda Shinn, Wendy Shipman, Karen Schueler and Sonnie Sperati
