Buenos dĆas! Ahora mismo coinciden dos exposiciones sobre el Ikat en Washington, asĆ que he aprendido mucho sobre esta tĆ©cnica de teƱir, que es fascinante. Empezamos el recorrido en el Museo Textil, donde explican de maravilla todo el proceso de elaboraciĆ³n de estos tejidos. DespuĆ©s nos vamos a la GalerĆa Sackler donde, ademĆ”s de enseƱar algunas piezas de UzbekistĆ”n y el Valle de Fergana, han reunido tĆŗnicas del siglo XIX y diseƱos de Oscar de la Renta realizados en ikat de algodĆ³n, seda y lana.
Good morning! Right now there are two Ikat exhibitions in DC, so I've learn a lot about this dying technique, which is amazing. We are starting at the Textile Museum, where they explain the process to make this fabric. Then we are visiting the Sackler Gallery, where they are showing some Ikat pieces fro Uzbekistan and Fergana Valley and some ikat garments from the 19th Century as well as recent Oscar de la Renta designs made in cotton, silk and wool.
