Continuing in the Cantor Resource Gallery through March 1: Community Threads: Seven Hills Saori Weaving Project

The Saori Weaving Project at Seven Hills began several years ago when a few individuals took classes with Mihoko Wakabayashi, an artist and proprietor of Saori Worcester, and the organization then became a Saori pioneer coaching site. 

Seven Hills purchased accessible and adaptable looms and staff members completed the full Saori beginner’s course to become Saori Coaches. The “Community Threads” exhibition is the result of many hours of weaving, sewing, planning, serendipity, creativity and community collaboration between Seven Hills and the Cantor Art Gallery, College of the Holy Cross.
