There is no Verona Textile Festival without our international contest and we are ready to receive your precious works.
On Sunday 23rd of April the jury, composed of Sara Casol, Patrizia Girlanda and Laura Armiraglio, of the International Textile Arts Contest named “Amore, il filo rosso che unisce“ met and elected the winners.
During the Verona Textile Festival/Verona Tessile Festival, the exhibition of Ad Maiora’s members will be dedicated to “His Majesty the Hexagon”, always considered one of the favourite shapes by quilters all over the world.
We are pleased to invite you to the inauguration of Verona Tessile Festival, which will be held on Monday April 24th at 5pm at the Castelvecchio Museum.
The occasion will be a chance to preview the exhibition “Old Quilts from 1800. American and European”, whilst all other exhibitions will open to the public from Tuesday the 25th and Sunday the 30th.
The jury of experts, composed by Sara Casol, Patrizia Girlanda and Laura Armiraglio has selected the works that will participate to the International Textile Art Contest “Love, the red thread that unites”.
In the search of excellency and moving tales, Bosna Quilt particularly touched the Ad Maiora Association’s heart.
Love, the red thread that unites is the theme for the new International Contest on textile art for the 2017 edition of Verona Tessile.
For this edition of Verona Tessile, as for previous ones, we conceived some lab experiences meant to discover new and old techniques. From felt, with Andrea Graham (Canada), through patchwork, with Keiko Goke (Japan), to the fiber art of Damss (Italy), who will reveal us the secrets of creative embellishment.
