Meg Little, Newport Rug-Maker, to Exhibit @ American Fine Craft Show @ Brooklyn Museum Nov. 19-20

Newport-based rug-maker Meg Little will join master craftsmen in glass, ceramics, wood, metal and leather at the fourth American Fine Craft Show at Brooklyn Museum Nov. 19-20, 2016. Some 90 artisans, fine artists and sculptors will transform the museum’s Beaux-Arts Court to a magical wonderland of creativity featuring, in addition to the work of textile artists, furniture, jewelry, fashion and decorative work.

The show is produced and curated by An American Craftsman Galleries that has supported crafts artists since 1982, longer than any other gallery in New York City, representing the work of over 500 from across the country.

Little says that today there are only a handful of people who produce rugs themselves. She’s been making hers full-time since 1990. The durable, one-of-a-kind rugs are wool, designed, hand drawn and made by using hundreds of blended colors.

The craft show is timed for holiday shopping but not too close to Hanukah and Christmas so visitors will have time to also see the magnificent current and long-term exhibitions at Brooklyn Museum. Concurrent special exhibitions include “Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty;” “Beverly Buchanan—Ruins and Rituals;” “Iggy Pop Life Class by Jeremy Deller” and a ticketed exhibition, “Who Shot Sports: A Photographic History, 1843 to the Present,” $16 at the admissions desk.
