Have a Sneak Peek at the Pattern Stories Exhibition Installation Process
The team here at the Goldstein is busy installing our upcoming exhibition in Gallery 241 at McNeal Hall. Pattern Stories: Printed Textiles will be open to the public starting this Saturday, June 15, and will run through August 25.
The exhibition celebrates the skill and ingenuity of printed textile designers, both well-known and anonymous. The items in Pattern Stories were made using a broad range of techniques, including block printing, etching, roller printing, screen printing, discharge printing, and digital printing. Whether intended for a wall hanging, a dress, or even a shoe, a printed design can imbue an object with many layers of meaning. Come and explore the stories that these patterns tell!

The exhibition features several printed sundresses. Maybe it will even be warm and sunny this Saturday so that you can wear your favorite printed dress to the gallery!
