Tamalpais Textile Arts Guild October 20th Program features Adele Stafford of Voices of Industry
Adele Stafford is the creative mind behind Voices of Industry (http://www.voicesofindustry.com) who create hand woven apparel and textiles from 100% domestic fiber, farmed and spun in the U.S. Adele hand weaves each piece on a mechanical loom from her studio in Oakland, California and works with a small team of pattern makers and tailors in San Francisco. which is pretty amazing if you consider that almost 98% of all clothing in the US is made internationally. It’s people like Adele & her team who are steadily bringing that number down (and creating beautiful garments at that).
The evening activities starts at 7 pm at the Francis Young Gallery of the Marin Art and Garden Center, 30 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Ross (west end of campus). Guests are welcome and a non-member donation of $5 is appreciated.
