Jan Myers-Newbury: A Touch of Kismet - Quilts, Color, Pattern, Chance exhibition talk

Jan Myers-Newbury will speak about her work on Sunday, June 7, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. in Room 11 of the Human Sciences Building on East campus.  The talk is free and the public is invited.  A reception will follow in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery.
"You would think that, as many times as I have unwrapped a pole after dyeing, I would become ho-hum about the results.  But it never fails:  I can't wait to see how each piece turns out.  I guess that's because I've realized I only have a certain amount of control and the rest is kismet."
