(Jesten-Mlller), s, ocieiu THE ALL-GALLERY exhibition which has attracted a large number of visit ors to the Art Center the last two weeks will remain on display for another week In order that all persons Interested In the craft of hand weaving may have ample opportunity to see the show. The work of some 60 members of the Art Center Weaving Guild, directed by Mrs. Agnes F. Tschopp, supervisor of weaving In the Oregon Art Centers, Is represented by the approximately 300 articles on showing. In one exhibit an easily, quickly woven lunch set, matching the exhibitor's peasant pottery both in color and design, presents an Illustration of the complete unity of the weaver and her craft, In a supplementary display of hand weav ing brought by Charles Val Clear from Wash ington, D.C., may be seen double woven pile rugs from a rag bag, a thick wool yarn rug with pile an inch thick, and Indian type woven rugs of hand spun wool, all of which were evidently directly inspired by materials on hand and at home. In finer weaving are noted firmly woven woolen suit and dress cloths, linen towels and luncheon sets of Oregon flax, with simply but thoughtfully planned designs and bor ders. , Oregon wool claims the weaver's atten tion to scarfs, soft as fleeces,, warm spongy and gayly plaided knee robes and coverlets, Antique chairs are covered with tapestry like woven upholstery planned to become an Integral part of the furniture design. From banquet cloths to lunch sets and towels, huge wall hangings to diminutive mottoes, and drapery to chair tidies, each and every piece had a definite place when the Idea was conceived and before it became a reality. Women weavers today are displaying their talents by the beauty of creative design In happy combination with practical and useful articles for the home.
