Weaver Artist, Virginija Stigaite from Vilnius, Lithuania

TALK 12:00-13:00 PST

EXHIBIT & SALE 11:30-17:00

A WSN member will match dollar for dollar sales of Virginija’s works. These matching funds will be donated to help Ukrainian refugees in Lithuania.

Stigaite says, “The loom is like a computer to me. I understand the logic of it.” Trained in fashion engineering, Stigaite has been engineering her wearable wovens for the last 10 years using only naturals fibers. She does everything from start to finish: design, make the fabric, and create the final pieces. Her color palette draws inspiration from nature. The prestigious NHK of Japan filmed her in February of this year.
