Textile Talk Stories
9:30am - “Boro: Not a Fad”, Hiromi Beck, Indigo Market Boro is more than just a word for “rags”. Hiromi will share a brief history of how Japanese farmers recycled torn indigo dyed pieces into more years of reusable household goods. If we understand the roots of boro, we will appreciate even more Alabama’s Gee’s Bend cotton quilts and those made by Kantha women in Bangladesh from old silk sari and rag trade scraps. 10:15am - “Sashiko: Yesterday and Today”, Pauline Kunimune, with Carol Dee Nishimura Pauline Kunimune, age 86, of the original Kuni Dry Goods on University Avenue, shares her sashiko experiences. In the Honshu winters, farming women patched and re-patched indigo dyed garments, bedding and even diapers with straight lines of white threads--sashiko “little stabs”. As cotton threads became available to all classes, sashiko evolved into more decorative curved botanical and nature forms. Carol Dee, a veteran cross-stitcher, has recently become a Pauline student and developed a very simple method of transferring printed sashiko patterns to dark blue fabrics. It uses white netting! 11:00am - “Indige”, Ron Irwin Working with weavers and dyers in Southeast Asia for the past 35 years, Ron has nurtured and supported villages, improving their working conditions and sustaining their crafts. He says, “I love the environment of the new big studios, watching the yarn spun, dyed and setting the looms.” His Indige shop on Waialae Avenue glows with these pin-tucked woven beauties, men’s batik aloha shirts and tactile baskets. Hear his stories and take home a truly hand-crafted piece from his pop-up space in Bolts. 11:45am - “Saki-Ori: Weavings from Rags”, Ann Kedyl, Mottainai Hawaii Ann weaves fabric from threads, shreds, scraps and oddments in her Koko Head studio, next to Pitacus and Montsuki, above Calico Cat fabrics. This universal method of the ultimate from rags to somethings, is very doable. You’ll see. She will also show historical pieces made by those inventive, strong farming women.
