Live from Sardinia: Textile Designer Eugenia Pinna
POSTPONED until 2025
Online via Zoom
Free to attend
Noted Sardinian Textile Designer Eugenia Pinna will present her textiles and a history of her work from her studio in Nule, Sardegna on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern. The online event is a collaboration between Eugenia, Sardinian Arts, and the Italian Cultural Institute-San Francisco. There’s no charge to attend, but you must register in advance to attend.
Eugenia’s designs incorporate Nule traditions with contemporary vision. Her work was recently featured in the one-woman exhibit, La Ricerca di una Textile Designer, at Spazio Ilisso in Nule, and can be seen on her own website, Sardinian Arts, and in select showrooms.
Having absorbed the weaving tradition of Nule as a girl, Eugenia furthered her artistic ability at the European Institute of Design in Cagliari. Her works fuse the knowledge and skill of the traditional handweavers of Nule — expert in their knowledge of wool, natural colors, and the mechanics, techniques, and patterns suited to the vertical loom — with a modern design sensibility, complex and beautiful color combinations, and innovative shapes and designs that are uniquely hers. Simply stated, Eugenia has mastered what few can: She has blended the contemporary with the traditional to create warm and astoundingly beautiful works of art that have a presence and personality of their own.
