Threads and Expressions

Threads and Expressions, an ArlingtonWeaves, ETC exhibit, will be on view at the Arlington Artists Alliance Gallery from July 10 through August 17, 2025. This showcase of handcrafted contemporary textiles includes weaving, tapestry, dyeing, and embroidery. Viewers are sure to go on a fascinating journey of color and texture. Featured artist WK (initials to ensure privacy) gleaned inspiration from tapestry artist Theo Moorman and used two different looms to weave his vibrant wall hangings: an 8-shaft Schacht traditional floor loom and a 32-shaft Toika computer-assisted loom. WK’s skillfully designed works, and those of his fellow artisans, will be for sale. On August 8 from 11am-1pm, the ArlingtonWeaves, ETC artists will demonstrate plain and complex weave structures. Visitors may also have the opportunity to weave on a tabletop loom!
