Our guest speaker for this year’s Ruth Anstey Memorial Lecture will be Diana Sanderson from the Silk Weaving Studio/Sanjo Silk on Granville Island, Vancouver. She will present works from the Ann Sutton collection of Junichi Arai and Nuno weavings which is hosted at the Silk Weaving studio. In 2013, Diana Sanderson acquired the Ann Sutton collection of Junichi Arai and Nuno works with the promise that it would be made available for viewing to anyone interested. Over the last two decades Diana has made a dozen trips to Japan, deepening her interest in Japanese contemporary textiles. Darlene Ochotta and Diana look forward to sharing the collection with the guild.
[Note: Ruth Anstey was an original member of the Guild and was President 1957-58. Read more about Guild History.]
