Traversing Textiles

at the Ohio Craft Museum

February 11–March 30, 2024

We are looking forward to the upcoming exhibition, “Traversing Textiles,“ curated by Columbus artist Char Norman and showcasing superb examples of textiles and fiber art by 20 local and regional artists. Norman invited artists who utilize a variety of techniques, such as weaving, felting, tatting, stitching, quilting and basketry, and who create traditional forms, as well as works that look at societal, political and environmental issues. 

An opening reception will be held at the Ohio Craft Museum on Sunday, February 11, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Char Norman and several exhibition artists will discuss the exhibition at 2:00 pm.

And if you know Lisa’s work, you know she just has to be a fun person. Both will be demonstrating their unique decorative techniques, as well as throwing, handbuilding and altering.
