Traditions and New Stories – Quilts and Textile Art by Sew Many Stars Collective and Nicole Turner
Showing Dec 5 – Jan 26
Sew Many Stars Collectives’ quilts show a variety of quilting techniques including piecing, appliqué, machine quilting, and hand quilting. The quilts show many different styles from traditional to modern to art. The group looks forward to sharing the stage with emerging Tacoma artist Nicole Turner for their 25th year. Nicole Turner’s experimental textiles, made from recycled materials, break down the barriers of fiber arts often criticized as “women’s work” to demonstrate the inherent value of textiles in society and as an art form worthy of classification and respect in a traditional arts context.
