A reception will be on Friday, Nov. 20 from 5 to 8 p.m. in Gallery 101.
Nelson’s collection titled, “Just Beginning,” is a study of techniques in rug weaving. She has created many styles of rugs using hand-dyed wool and cotton fabric. Her ability to make rugs that she can walk on, touch and be interactive with is very important to her, she says. She believes in making useful, attractive and strong textiles that are well designed and carefully executed. Nelson is a BFA candidate and art education student from Woodbury, Minn.
