DESCRIPTION:<strong>Katazome: Textiles by Karen Illman Miller</strong>\nApr
 il 2 - May 24\, 2009\nat the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center\n\nKaren Miller i
 s an artist and a naturalist. She creates painstakingly crafted handmade m
 ulberry paper stencils\, used to transfer detailed designs onto fabric. Th
 e cut stencils are placed on the fabric and a paste is applied to cover th
 e design\, protecting it from the next round of hand dyeing vibrant colors
  onto the cloth. This is the art of katazome – traditional stencil and p
 aste-resistant dyeing of cloth that can then be sewn into beautiful textil
 es.\n\nEach fiber is cared for in the artist’s hands\, as rounds of dye 
 are applied and details in the stencil designs emerge. Karen brings to lif
 e the cycles of the seasons\, the day into night\, the flowers\, fish\, tr
 ees\, and creatures from her beloved seas and her home in Oregon. Whether 
 sewing quilts or making noren (silk room dividers)\, Karen’s designs are
  modern and unique while her craft is ancient and steeped in the loving\, 
 attentive aesthetic of Japan.\n\nPlease join us for an exhibit of her work
  that runs through May 24. <strong>A special trunk show will offer additio
 nal textiles for sale the weekend of May 23-24</strong>.\n\nKaren’s work
  has been exhibited in Japan as well as the United States\, and she teache
 s workshops on the art of katazome. An exhibit at the Benton County Histor
 ical Society Museum in Philomath May 1 – June 13 will feature many more 
 pieces. Check out her website for more details <a href="http://www.nautilu
