Ikat: A World of Compelling Cloth
March 9 - May 29
Seattle Art Museum

​​Ikat: A World of Compelling Cloth is an introduction to the meticulous and time-honored processes of dyeing threads to create complicated hand-weaving. A radical departure from today’s factory-made cloth, ikat serves as a reminder of the power of slow fashion and the sacredness of clothing as art. More info at SAM's website.
