We will be hosting the fiber artist Jaya Griscom for an informative talk on her textile art and journey. Join us for a lovely presentation. Jaya Griscom is an abstract figurative textile artist. She learned to weave as a young child and fell in love with the tactile experience of working with fiber, launching a life-long obsession that she’s nurtured through a traditional fine art education and professional practice. Jaya is currently a long-term artist in residence through the City of Palo Alto’s Cubberley Artist Studio Project and a visiting artist at Stanford Art Institute. Her recent work explores the human form and the sense of touch through digital jacquard weaving, using photographic imagery and 3D scans of the figure. Jaya will present on her artwork, process, and how she drafts her pieces for the TC2 loom.

If you would like to also join some members for dinner, beforehand, Lizzy will let you know the details. We also need help with refreshments, sweet or savory. Tea will be available. Please label your food item.

Looking forward to seeing you in person at the Redwood City Senior Center, 1455 Madison Ave., Redwood City, CA 94061.
