The Lake Pepin Art & Design Center is showcasing Pepin-county textile treasures during this community exhibition: Heirloom Textiles of Pepin County.
The exhibition features textiles on loan from local families, in a variety of materials, including quilts, table linens, knitted or crocheted items, woven or hooked rugs, clothing and other textile-based handwork. These are items that were created for special occasions, as well as for everyday use - many items with an interesting history or local connection.
The exhibition will feature a presentation by Maureen Hark, a textile conservator who has
worked at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. on Sunday, Septembre 12 during Laura Ingalls Wilder Days.
Jarona Ilo, a ceramic artist from Estonia, will be arriving in Pepin around September 2, for a one-month residency under the invitation of the Art & Design Center. A portion of Jarona's costs for the residency are being supported by grant funding from Estonia.
