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.
In the library Is hung a part of the Car
negie collection of historic fabrics from the
University of Oregon, which has an appeal
for the craft student and also the general
visitor.
Weaving demonstrations will be a fea
ture of the weaving exhibition during next

in the main gallery Tuesday and Wednesday
