Cuyahoga Weavers Guild

Weaving and other fiber-based fun for 45 years and counting

January 23, 2024 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Guild members enjoyed a tour of Egyptomania by Laura Martin, and even had the opportunity to meet curator Darnell Jamal-Lisby.  Laura also showed us textiles that are currently on view in other galleries of CMA.  Below is a listing up upcoming attractions that Laura has shared.
And Laura writes:
