Rug-maker Meg Little to Exhibit @ American Fine Craft Show

Newport-based rug-maker Meg Little will join master craftsmen in glass, ceramics, wood, metal and leather at the fifth American Fine Craft Show at the Brooklyn Museum Nov. 18-19, 2017.

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, that of furniture, ceramics, glass, jewelry and fashion designers.

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.

Visitors will have time to also see the magnificent exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum. Concurrent special exhibitions include “Rodin at the Brooklyn Museum: The Body in Bronze,” that opens November 17; “Soulful Creatures: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt;” “Proof: Francisco Goya, Sergei Eisenstein, Robert Longo,” and “Arts of Korea.”
