Next Meeting

Rug and Textile Appreciation Morning

with Barry O'Connell

Saturday, December 6, 2008, 10AM - Noon

Emmanuel's Rug and Upholstery Cleaners
1105 Rainier Avenue South, Seattle
 

This meeting is a chance for members to mix and mingle while learning about rugs and textiles in each other’s collections. The format is based on the popular “Rug and Textile Appreciation Mornings” held at The Textile Museum, in Washington DC. Members are strongly encouraged to bring several rugs and textiles to show and discuss. We really can’t have too many pieces – the more there is to look at, the more we can learn.  Click here to download a PDF file of the full meeting announcement, or read it in standard web format by clicking here.
