Many Threads One Cloth
August 24 – October 2
Threads, made from a variety of plant or animal fibers, are universal. Cloth, made from various fibers utilizing unique methods, is universal. Every culture in the world makes, wears and uses textiles from birth through death. Materials and natural resources used for the production of cloth and cultural artifacts varies by geography and what is available. Diversity of threads making diverse cloth for diverse purposes is the theme of Many Threads – One Cloth.
