Textile lovers, mark your calendars! LACMA is presenting the largest retrospective to date of Japanese designer Reiko Sudō, who for more than 40 years has blended tradition with experimentation and handicraft with technology. Created with her collective NUNO and artisans across Japan, the show features over 100 limited-edition textiles, plus sketches, raw materials, tools, and prototypes. It also highlights regional crafts and sustainability.
A celebration of fiber, creativity, and community, this exhibition features the work of local weavers and spinners exploring texture, color, and technique through contemporary fiber art.
It is on view September 26, 2026 through January 9, 2027 in the Logan Gallery at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, 8585 Ojai Santa Paula Road, Ojai. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Get a head start on holiday gifts at the Central Coast Weavers Guild’s annual sale, where every item is locally handcrafted by guild members, several of them nationally known weavers. The showcase also has weaving and spinning displays and demos, and you can try both yourself.
Got a favorite garment that needs a repair, or a sewing project that’s stalled? Explore Ecology’s Sewing and Mending workshop welcomes you to bring your unfinished projects, sewing challenges, or mending needs. Staff and volunteers will be on hand with tips and guidance, whether you want to fix an old favorite or start something new.
