Join us as artist Majorie Durko Puryear shares her work inspired by antique diaries, letters, address books, and ledgers. The artist creates works that honor the simplicity of these handwritten records as she reveals the beauty of these documents, written by ordinary people in simple circumstances of every day life.

Lecture/Lunch
Fiber Arts: From Fashion to Installation
Wednesday, May 28 10:30am

Elizabeth Bentley's work in fiber is inspired by the complexity of patterns formed by numerous layers of hand manipulated machine-knitted fabric, in conjunction with the translucency of hand dyed silk organza. Elizabeth will speak about the transition of her work from ready-to-wear clothing and knitwear to contemporary installation artwork, wearable art and modern dance costumes. Elizabeth is currently a graduate student in the Master of Fine Arts in Artisanry in Fiber program at UMass Dartmouth. She is also an adjunct faculty member of Apparel Design at Rhode Island School of Design.
