Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, November 2016
The Philadelphia show was a wonderful experience.  A number of visitors from the Philadelphia area recounted their own personal knowledge and relationships with Philadelphia's now-defunct textile industry.  It seems that an area in west Philly had a concentration of textile plants.  At the show, I exhibited both wall tapestries and scarves.  Each one was 100% silk and was dyed in my studio with natural material dyes (with one single exception, the chemical blue dye used in a particular scarf).
