Anita Luvera Mayer: One Woman’s Creative Journey

Thursday, September 23, 2010, 7:00 pm. 

First introduced to weaving when her mother-in-law gave her a floor loom as a wedding gift, Anita Luvera Mayer, an internationally recognized weaver and versatile fiber artist, designer, and author, will discuss her work. Her focus on weaving contemporary garments began in 1972 and she has focused the last 10 years of her work around women's stories. Mayer’s creative fiber work has evolved to include innovative surface design techniques, beadwork, embroidery, freeform knitting, and crochet.
