11am program
Suzanne da Rosa is a master lace knitter and a part of an ongoing historical study of Shetland fine lace knitting. She knits samples and garments for the Shetland Museum and Archives and test knits for well known designers from Europe.
Should be a very interesting program.
PTArts members and guests welcome. Donations from guests always welcome.
At 11:00 AM Adriane Nicolaisen will present a slide show about her recent trip to Uzbekistan and Turkey, elaborating on her collection of textiles from the area now on exhibit in the Gallery.
Meet and Greet at 10:00 AM before the program.
All are welcome, donations appreciated.
Adriane writes:
Handcrafts as well as hand made textiles in the traditions of the ancient Silk Road are everywhere to be seen in Uzbekistan. Once a part of the Soviet Union until 1991 the country was closed to tourism until 2016 when new leadership began a period of modernization. Now Uzbekistan welcomes people from all over the world. The people are lovely, architecture is astounding and the food is delicious. The old walled cities of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva were once important trading centers along the old Silk Road and have been preserved and restored as UNESCO world heritage sites. The increase in tourism has been a boon to the preservation of traditional crafts and textiles as in the Fergana Valley where ancient practice of sericulture is in full view as mulberry trees line streets and roads. Traditional dress is common amongst older people on the street in most cities.
Social and Sharing 10am

An introduction to the basic stitches and techniques of crochet will be given with instructions on how these basic techniques can be used to recreate objects from the coast such as kelp and seashells. Participants should be able to finish a small work during this workshop which can contribute to an ongoing project to cover the Pacific Textile Arts’ fence. No prior experience with crochet is necessary. Participants are also encouraged to bring examples of their favourite “sea debris” that may be found along the coast.
—————————————————– * —————————————————
Trisha Lavoie is a Canadian fiber artist focused on using crochet soft sculpture to create art installations. Her work plays with non-traditional uses of crafts, issues of conspicuous consumption, comfort and environmental concerns. Fort Bragg’s current climate concerns with the diminishing kelp forests are of particular interest to her. Her work has been shown in Hamilton, Toronto and St Catherines in Southern Ontario, Vancouver, BC, and at the Larry Spring Museum Of Common Sense Physics in Fort Bragg.
Due to the likelihood of PGE power shutoff in Fort Bragg tomorrow … “popcorn and a movie” has been cancelled by Elaine Todd.
Thanks to all who worked the faire as well as those who came to find treasures.
