Nature's Canvas
From the dawn of prehistoric creativity to the present day, humans have harnessed the beauty of wood and the versatility of fibers to craft extraordinary works of art. Nature's Canvas brings together two distinct art forms--art quilts and woodturnings--in paying homage to the age-old traditions of artistic expression. This collaboration highlights 60 works by artists from around the world.
A collaboration between Studio Art Quilt Associates and the American Association of Woodturners.
