Four Pleasanton Art League fiber artists will be showcased from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday on the front lawn of the Museum on Main, 603 Main St. The artists will talk about their creative process, and in some cases demonstrate their artistic techniques.
The event is being held in conjunction with the current exhibit, “Stitching California: Textile Artists Interpret the Golden State,” which brings together 43 textile artists from Northern California and Nevada for a multifaceted portrait of California — its beauty, its glory, its flaws and its challenges through studio art quilts.
“While our four local fiber artists are not studio art quilters, I am excited that this event will showcase the diversity of fiber arts, while also highlighting local artists and the Pleasanton Art League,” education director Sarah Schaefer said.
Participating artists are Jan Loomis, Nova Starling, Ruzanna Kirakosyan and Christine Watters.
“Even with only four artists showcased, there will be examples of a wide range of fiber arts including silk painting, felting, fiber books, ribbon work, crochet baskets and printing,” Schaefer added.
While the showcase of local fiber artists is happening outside, the museum also will be hosting studio quilt artist Adriane Dedic. Her work is featured in “Stitching California” and she will be available throughout the showcase to discuss the quilts on display and the many techniques used.
Dedic appears as part of the Museum’s “Meet the Artists” program, which occurs every Saturday through Aug. 18.
