October 28th - November 20th, Reception Nov 7, 5-8
Printed, Dyed and Stitched is an exhibit of all new quilts by Barbara Danzi, created with silk screens and other printing tools and techniques and thickened fiber-reactive dyes. After printing and dyeing the fabric, it's layered and stitched with quilted lines that add additional meaning or context to the dyed compositions. These quilts hang on the wall.
Fiber Artist Talk 11/8 3pm - Barbara Danzi will discuss her inspiration and process for creating these colorful whole cloth quilts, and the creative stretch she has taken from her typical technique of improvisational piecing of hand-cut solid-colored fabric.
Reception 11/7 5-8
These quilts have an environmental theme. Resilience is a quilt with stitched green vines against a background of reds and oranges, showing that we can be resilient and grow through the situations we are in. The quilts Reef and Abyss present underwater worlds. Leafy Greens, Secret Garden and Flower Bed explore plant life. Break Glass can be interpreted as encouragement to go and break that glass ceiling, or a warning that we're in an emergency and should break the glass and pull the alarm.
The patterns which the artist has created through printing and dyeing, and the quilting stitches with colored threads that complete the quilts give the viewer many details to study and enjoy.
This exhibit is part of Handwork 2026 with Craft in America.
