Long before our country was founded, Japanese artisans were designing works of wearable art. Some of the finest textiles in the world were crafted using techniques we now call "surface design". Come, see and wonder at the stunning effects these masters perfected, including Yuzen and shibori dyeing, silk screening and stenciling, hand-embroidery (which was later replaced by machine work), and modern experiments using heat-fused metallics. An eye-opening adventure for wearable artists, quilters and surface designers! Bring your camera to save and savor the techniques exhibited in this trunk show of fine kimono.
