Artist at Work: Hisako Sekijima

September 11, 2016 | 1:00PM - 3:00PM

The work of Japanese artist Hisako Sekijima is informed by the nature and history of basketry. She employs a variety of techniques and approaches that extend well beyond traditional basket making, however, as evident in her work currently on view in The Box Project: Uncommon Threads. In this live demonstration, Sekijima shows her process, which combines textile techniques, thread work, and basket making, all using limited materials and relatively simple tools.

Light refreshments will be served.
