Lecture: Textile Travels
Jackie Snell will give a trunk show of Indonesian and Malaysian textiles. Most of these beautiful textiles were acquired during stays in these two neighboring countries. Included in the collection are ikats, batiks, supplementary weft weaves, and contemporary fabrics for kebayas.
