Reminder for TAA Members It's that time again!! Please renew your TAA membership by September 30th. We value your membership and hope that you will continue to support TAA's mission of providing textile education and enhancing the collection of textiles at the Cleveland Museum of Art. | ||
LECTURE Personal Mark-Making: Textile Art and Innovation There are new ways to use cloth, yarn and fiber to create “marks.” As old as the desire to mark cave walls, this primal urge can be expressed in cloth using evolved, artist-friendly technology. Hear about recent innovations that will enable your artistic vision to emerge. Join Paula Scaffidi, artist and innovator, to glimpse new technologies in her art and in action. www.fiberella.com $5 at the door (Members and full-time students free) |
