I thought I'd share one of the highlights of our last full day here in San Francisco. After a trip to the SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) we journeyed over to the Museum of Craft and Folk Art. There the second installment of Fiber Futures had just opened.
...explores a new art that is emerging from a remarkable fusion of Japanese artisanal and industrial textile making. Coaxed from materials as age-old as hemp and newly developed as microfilaments, a varied array of more than 25 works by artists from multiple generations will be on view...
Here is a sampling of some of the work on display.
I sadly report that this small museum will be closing its doors at the end of this show. I'm always sad when venues for fine crafts disappear.
We will be on our way home tomorrow. It's been a really enjoyable trip with lots of quality time with my hubby. One thing we both agreed about is that we haven't made the time to visit the many wonderful museums in our own backyard of Washington, D.C. Hope to remedy that in the future.
Many projects and deadlines await at home...
