Antique Rug Appreciation--This Saturday!
Learn about antique and tribal rugs and other woven treasures from an expert.
Do tales of the Silk Road capture your imagination? The mystique and lore of antique rugs have drawn artists, historians, and collectors for many centuries. Antique and tribal rugs provide a fascinating window into other cultures. They can also spark far-ranging discussions of developing economies, mass-production versus hand-craftsmanship, and the effect of globalization on traditional societies. Paul Clegg, AB '67, collects antique and tribal rugs and has agreed to share his knowledge, woven treasures, and insights from his travels with fellow club members. If you would like to bring a rug or other fabric piece to show the group, please do. Paul will provide refreshments. RSVP ptclegg@gmail.com for details and directions.
