The gift of a weaving course at the Southwest Craft Center of San Antonio in 1971 introduced Patricia Day to the world of fiber arts. Her interest in the study and practice of hand weaving and the treatment of fiber took over her life to the extent that she became a professional weaver in 1976, concentrating on woven garments and home furnishings. Patricia’s creative use of natural fibers and hand-dyed yarn in her products has gained her a loyal following of patrons and the respect of her fellow artists in the galleries and juried art shows where she continues to be a valued exhibitor.
After enjoying such an extensive career, Patricia says that “the delight of integrating texture and color keeps the work exciting”. Through her attention to the structure, color, texture, weight and finish of each hand-woven piece Patricia hopes to impart a feeling of joy and tactile pleasure to those who wear her clothing or use her home accessories.
