Event Details

Monday – Saturday, June 27 – July 2, 12 – 6pm

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.

About Lacis Museum of Lace & Textiles

Established in 2004, Lacis Museum of Lace & Textiles is a legacy museum honoring textile artist and entrepreneur KAETHE KLIOT (1930-2002). Now known as Lacis, the little textile emporium founded by Kaethe in 1965 operated as a haven for the burgeoning fiber arts community. It was a place of inspiration and ready encouragement, where she provided her support, imparted her wisdom, and generously lent her expertise to all. The collection of the Kliot laces and textiles represents 40 years of dedication to the preservation of the most exquisite in human handiwork.

By appointment only. 510-843-7290
