We are delighted to welcome renowned tapestry artist Alex Friedman for our in-person October meeting. Alex is calling her presentation “A Journey Along the Warp.” She will share with us about how she fell into tapestry and the journey it has taken her on.

Alex Friedman has been weaving tapestries for over 50 years. She began her career by working in a NYC workshop on a set of shaped tapestries for a fleet of Pan Am 747 jumbo jets. Since then, she has created numerous tapestries including commissions for corporate, liturgical, and private clients. Her award-winning art, known for the dynamic colors and dimensional surface design, has been exhibited internationally.
Alex is active in many Bay Area fiber organizations, and she continues to promote tapestry through lectures and workshops. She has served as the President and Co-Director of the American Tapestry Alliance, and currently she serves on the Advisory Board of the Textile Arts Council at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
She maintains a studio at the ICB in the Sausalito, California and welcomes inquiries and visitors. https://www.alexfriedmantapestry.com
