Carol Irving was born and raised in Detroit. At the age of 24, after earning a degree in Botany, she moved to Michigan. Carol learned to weave while in college and began to explore this art form on her own. Over the years, Carol has taken many classes and workshops from noted weavers as well as winning awards and honors in juried arts and fiber shows. Her work is included in a recently published book, The Art of Weaving.
The Kavanagh Gallery at Fine Line Creative Arts Center is pleased to host the fantastic collection of 12 woven panels. These panels are a reflection of Carol's interests, travels and research in the botanical world of Michigan. Carol has said that she hopes to bring attention to Michigan's many wildflowers and the real danger that exists that many maybe be lost.
During this opening reception, Carol will provide an artist talk about her work and take questions from the audience. The artist talk will begin at 6.30 pm. For any weavers or lovers of woven pieces, this is an excellent opportunity to hear from a fiber artist about her work and gain insight and tips about weaving.
This gallery reception, like all gallery receptions, is free and open to everyone. Light refreshments will be served throughout the evening.
