World Embroidery Series II
Series of embroidery classes. Across six classes, participants will encounter an astonishing array of culturally specific techniques, and will have the opportunity to learn from accomplished practicing teachers who are equally purposed in preserving these skills and their histories.
Textiles of the Silk Road and Beyond - discussion and sale
Together with Christine Martens you will examine and discuss the large-scale tent embroideries (tush ki’iz and tus ki’iz) of the Kyrgyz and Kazakhs, who were historically nomadic pastoralists. These textiles were the focal point of the nomadic felt trellis tent (yurt), where every occupant and object had its place according to tradition. We will view a number of interior tent images to further understand the role of textile and space within the tent, as found in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Northwest China.
Sale of Christine Martens’s ethnographic collection, including Uzbek ikat and suzani embroideries, Kyrgyz and Kazakh embroideries, antique Turkmen coats (velvet, silk, cotton), hats, silk shawls, Yomut embroidered trouser cuffs, Syrian silk embroidered coats, Sind embroidered silk bokcha, Orissa weavings, Timor ceremonial ikat cape, American quilts and more.
