Noriko, the leader of Quilt Studio Nunozaiku, will have a class of Firefly-inspired tote bag or wall hanging, 12” x 12”. This project is based on Drifting Lights, a quilt by Noriko, displayed in the museum. The quilt expressed that countless fireflies drifting in the twilight that they are subtle and profound and beautiful. Students learn how to express the perspective using Japanese kimono silk and linen.
