CURRENT EXHIBITION: Contemporary Art Quilts
BJ Parady and Ann Miller Titus
Quilting techniques have been in use for many centuries, possibly as far back as ancient Egypt, and have been used mostly for clothing and bedding. Contemporary quilters have taken these techniques and used them in the creation of art quilts. With great imagination and skill, Titus and Parady have used the techniques of quilting in non traditional ways, creating new visions from familiar materials. Come explore an exciting direction for the fiber arts this Friday evening or on a visit to the Kavanagh Gallery before February 13, 2010.
