them as late as February 28th. Please provide a short biography of yourself
plus small paper signs with “not too technical” information about the pieces submitted,

Annual Meeting
“Little Japanese Girl”
This lovely Little Japanese Girl worked in Rozashi is a traditional oriental motif
often used to fete the occasion Girls’ Doll Festival Day which is celebrated on
March 3rd. On this day at home, dolls are displayed on shelves and girls
are dressed in their finest clothes, and often taken to nearby shrines to thank guardian
deities for their healthy growth and good health. This custom is also observed to help
teach young girls femininity. This ancient Japanese technique employs silk and metallic
threads on a specially woven silk canvas-like fabric called Ro. The thread used is a
twisted silk thread and a metallic laquered thread with a silk core. Four basic
Rozashi stitches will be taught with some variations. Finishing techniques will be
explored.
A coupon is provided for this meeting. The deadline for registration is
April 1st.
