First Friday featuring Emiko Toda Loeb

Friday, October 4, 2019

Join us for a demonstration and lecture with Emiko Toda Loeb, the artist behind Dualities. At 4:30 p.m., the artist will give a demonstration showing how she creates her two-sided log cabin quilts. At 5:30 p.m. she will give a lecture.

Emiko Toda Loeb started making quilts in the 1980s after moving to the United States from Kyoto, Japan. She had trained as a classical pianist, but realized that quiltmaking was her true expressive calling. Making quilts became both avocation and profession. Loeb now splits her time between New York City and Kyoto. She teaches classes all over the world and is the founder of the New Zephyrs quilt group, which exhibits work annually in Tokyo and Kyoto. Loeb is recognized internationally for innovative, double-sided quilts that combine a traditional American format with Japanese materials and aesthetics.

Admission to the museum is free from 4-7 p.m. as part of Lincoln's First Friday Art Walk.
