Taking Down the Exhibits

The Canadians left early Sunday morning.

It was suppose to be my 'rest' day but instead I did an interview ...

An interview with art director, Daniel Kevorkian,
from KEVO.

Daniel filming my work Looking for Labradorite.

...and then helped out at the Loggia Barbaro. I explained the Minerals' exhibit. Some of the visitors were friends and students from other parts of Italy that I was happy to catch up with. All spectators were very interested in the works even if they were not in the textile field.

The prize ceremony took place the last day of Verona Tessile.

It was packed.



Our tour guide, Christina Zuegg, received an award for her piece in the International Juried Exhibit "...E Lucean le Stelle".



The next day we took down everything.

Today, they got packed up and are ready to mail back to the makers.



That timing is amazing! There were about 200 works. See what happens when people work as a team?
