Textile Treasures from Central & South America
Textiles from Central and South American from the collection of Mickie McCormic
In 1972, Mickie set off for South America in a Volkswagen van with her husband and 3-year old (who had his fourth birthday in the jungle of Ecuador). They made it as far as Peru, and she collected textiles all along the way. Many of them are on display and for sale in the Pacific Textile Arts gallery, opening on our First Friday event on November 4.
Before the trip she was a weaver, and after returning in mid-1973, she did an independent study Master’s degree in Pre-Columbian Fabrics at Goddard College.
On Saturday, November 19, she is giving a talk about a fascinating design mystery that she studied then, unraveling the imagery in the complex abstractions of Tiahuanaco tapestries.
People will be getting together at 10:00, and her talk will start at 11:00. Everyone is welcome — donations appreciated. PTArts is at 450 Alger St., at the end of E. Laurel St. in Fort Bragg.
