Weave Houston 2021

 The Contemporary Handweavers of Houston is celebrating 71 years!  Our show "Weave Houston" is on view now at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.  Due to Covid restrictions we were not able to have an in person reception but the juror, Dr. Mary Ruth Smith spoke in a Facebook Live event about the show and presented awards.  

I was surprised and thrilled to receive an award for Excellence in Craft/Technique for "Seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall".

Here is my piece, made of felted merino wool, with hand embroidery and silk embellishments.

It's a beautiful show, on view through March 6.
