Java to Japan "The Forgotten Lands"
Alan R Tremain presents an exhibition of quilts featuring newly created works inspired by the Imperial Courts of Java and Japan during the 18th C when Java and Japan were trade partners and exchanged many recorded textile influences - a journey of discovery. Alan R Tremain has created an exhibition of quilts not to be missed using
reproduction Japanese prints, antique kimono fabrics as well as traditional and modern Javanese & Indonesian designed
textiles collected in his many travels and research projects to these textile rich countries.
