Elisabeth Mazzilli is a rug hooker located in the Mad River Valley and a member at the Front co-op in Montpelier, and a fairly recent member of GMRHG.
She writes:
I have an exclusive rug hooking show opening January 5th and running through January 28th. The Front is open Friday 4-7, Saturday and Sunday 11-5. See more details in Events calendar.
Several GMRHG members will have works in this show February 3 through March 16 at the
Chandler Center for the Arts
71 North Main Street
Randolph, VT 05060
From the organizers:
“This show will focus on color in textile and fiber arts.
Trichromancy aims to showcase various dyeing techniques and styles, from traditional to contemporary creations. We will also display pieces that are not hand-dyed but fulfill the requirement of being a textile/fiber creation where color plays a vital role in the work.”
(Regular exhibit hours 9 am – 5 pm M – F January 12 through March 28)
About the Show:
This group show includes felting, knitting, weaving, basket making, hooked rugs, and more from fiber artists across Vermont. About half of the work is from a project organized by Kimberly Hagen to promote the use of felted wool as an attractive, sustainable, and sound dampening option for restaurant decor. The remaining work highlights the wide variety of other styles and techniques used by fiber artists in Vermont.
The felted portion of the show was funded by a 2018 grant from the American Sheep Industry Association and was previously exhibited at the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival and the Hildene Estate in Manchester, VT.
