Kirk Dunn
We are very excited to have knitter, designer and textile artist Kirk Dunn back again to speak at our June meeting. Many were awestruck and inspired by Kirk’s presentation about his “Stitched Glass” project from the June 2006 meeting.

Stitched Glass is a textile art installation exploring the commonalities and conflicts between the three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Consisting of three hand-knitted panels in the style of stained glass, each approximately 6 ft wide by 9 ft high, the project uses iconic imagery to encourage dialogue around the successes and challenges of the three religions, in the hopes of knitting them together for a brighter future. Kirk Dunn will take us through the history of the project to date — from inception to design to the work in progress.
