A Return to Dutch Houses

The Seattle Weavers’ Guild presented a special one-night showcase and demonstration of weaving at the Seattle Museum of Popular Culture (MoPOP) in conjunction with the opening night of the Ruth E. Carter Afrofuturism in Costume Design exhibit. The Guild’s showcase, “Cloth Stories,” included my Dutch Houses tea towel woven in 8/2 cotton from Venne. It was a lot of fun to attend the opening and study Ruth Carter’s amazing design work. She is an inspiration.

The image below shows the towel on the loom. I weave these towels upside down because it requires me to lift fewer harnesses.
