Eric Chavez Santiago, director of education at the Museo Textil de Oaxaca (textile museum) and his sister Janet of the Galeria Fe y Lola, will be with us in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill the week of October 4. We will be hosting several welcome receptions for them. They’ll be bringing naturally dyed, hand-woven wool rugs for exhibit and sale, and will talk about the family tapestry weaving and natural dyeing process. Both are very knowledgeable professionals, university educated, bi-lingual and have a wealth of information about indigenous textiles throughout the State of Oaxaca. We hope you can join us. Please send me an email to RSVP: normahawthorne@mac.com
