The Hawai‘i Handweavers’ Hui presents “Fiber Journeys,” its 31st biennial exhibition showcasing excellent examples of original hand-woven and hand-spun work, through Sept. 10 at the Honolulu Museum of Art School.
Artists were invited to present works showcasing their personal journeys in fiber art for the juried exhibition.
“To some, it is a personal ongoing journey from when they first discover fiber,” said the hui, describing the exhibition in a news release. “Other (works) came from inspirations from places they have journeyed to or influences of the textiles they have encountered in other cultures. ‘Fiber Journeys’ may be interpreted in many ways.”
“FIBER JOURNEYS”

>> When: 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. daily through Sept. 10
>> Cost: Free

Among the entries is a “Stained Glass” scarf by Kim Thompson that combines two resist-dye techniques, ikat and shibori, creating a beautiful flow of color patterns in blues, greens and golden yellows. In Liz Train’s “Lava Flows to the Sea,” the felting incorporated into the weaving represents the flow of lava on its journey from Halemaumau crater to the sea.
Award-winning entries will also be on display at the Kahilu Theatre gallery in Waimea on Hawaii island, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 22. Some entries will be available for purchase, with a portion of proceeds going to the Honolulu Museum of Art School.
