"Strawberry Hill Museum is honored to present a display of Silk Tapestries from The National Silk Art Museum of Weston, MO. Mr. John Pottie, Curator of The National Silk Art Museum, has agreed to display a number of these exquisite works of art during the Strawberry Hill Museum's Art Event scheduled from May 1, 2010 to July 25, 2010. Mr Pottie will be at
the
Strawberry
Hill
Museum each weekend of the exhibit
from 1:30 to closing with the
exception of May 8th, May 15th and May 22nd.
Reproduction of Giorgio Vassari's Recreation. | The process was
pioneered by Joseph-Marie-Jacquard (1752
-1834). Jacquard used punch cards to
control patterns on a special loom. His
silk pictures interlace warp and woof so that the reverse is the exact
negative
of the original. John Pottie has
collected silk tapestries for 26 years and has examples from
Impressionism,
Romanticism, Classicism, Expressionism, Mannerism and Rococo. These tapestries are truly breathtaking as
one views the shine and beauty of silk combined with the intricacy of
weaving. Reproduction of Paul Anton Wagner's Bon Amis. | Strawberry
Hill
Museum is open on weekends from
12:00 to 5:00. The $7.00
tour fee is always a bargain and this Arts Event offers yet another
example of
the outstanding opportunities presented at
Strawberry
Hill
Museum, 720
North Fourth Street, Kansas
City, KS
66101."
