Saturday, Sept. 28, 3-6pm

Celebrate and learn about rugs from Nepal, featuring Ned Baker from Tamarian Rugs, a leading producer in artisan made works of art.

 

Ned will explore the virtue of what good materials and hand knotting brings to the consumer. Specialty smaller independent stores offer the best in design and value. Every step of production is completed with care and touch of the human hand. Many techniques and tools have remained unchanged through centuries. Rugs are woven with the finest natural and synthetic fiber blends available. Dyemasters use a small pot dying process to enhance the materials natural boldness and luster, while maintaining colorfastness for generations to come. When weaving is completed, the rug is cut from the loom, trimmed and sheared meticulously by hand. The rugs are washed with plain water (three times) which ensures that the rugs are free of chemicals and that they continue to keep natural lanolin oil in the finished piece. Lastly, the rug is sun dried to bring out the rich hues and variations that are the hallmark of every Tamarian Tibetan rug.

 

Ryan Higgins, owner of Tamarian, has written a new book highlighting the story of the rugs, with an emphasis of the story of the people in Nepal who produce these gems…..the human story. Signed copies available for purchase at event.

 

Music with Jeff Irwin on the piano from 3-4:30, “Introduction to Rugs from Nepal” after with refreshments and light fare.
