My Body Is a Basket: Artist Conversation
About
A panel with Brenda Mallory, Danielle Morsette and Sara Siestreem, the three Pacific Northwest Indigenous artists in the exhibition My Body Is a Basket, moderated by co-curator Asia Tail; they'll talk about blending abstraction with traditional textile practice, their bonds with materials and how gender roles surface in their work. Saturday, November 7, 2–3:15 pm at the Frye Art Museum, 704 Terry Ave (First Hill Streetcar at Broadway & Terrace, or Metro 3/4 on James St). Free; up to two tickets can be reserved and a standby line forms if it fills.

New to textiles?
Textile classes range from weaving on a frame or rigid-heddle loom to embroidery, knitting, crochet, natural dyeing, felting and sewing a first garment.
- Check whether the class is for complete beginners or assumes you can already cast on or thread a machine.
- Single sessions usually make something small: a wall hanging, a hoop, a dyed scarf.
- Bring reading glasses if you use them; most fibre work is close-up.
Taking it home: Usually the same day. Larger pieces may be finished at home with the yarn or thread you leave with.
