SAORI Worcester presents:

Loom in Essence, 2021

November 26 – December 24

SAORI weaving is an improvisational, contemporary art form from Japan. Its philosophy is based on the Zen principles of spontaneity and self-discovery. No patterns are utilized, thus no two pieces are ever alike.

SAORI Worcester is the first registered SAORI weaving studio in the US. Mihoko Wakabayashi has been teaching this artform to all ages and all abilities since 2000 in the studio and in the community. The exhibition shows not only the studio members’ individual expression but also the SAORI philosophy of inclusive diversity.
