The Bird in the Textile Arts

The bird in literature and on canvas has long held its place through all civilizations and all times.

The bird captured in thread and textiles is more obscure and less defined. Whether depicted by a single thread, a bountiful palette of threads, a thread following a hook or threads flowing harmony from the bobbins of lace, the bird is captured by the hands of the creator.

This amazing presentation captures this spirit from Pre-Columbian Peru to the earliest of laces to a world of unbound wealth of thread, color, and needle.
