A Private Visit to Sri Threads

Step into Sri Threads for a private, after-hours tour and shopping visit led by gallerist Stephen Szczepanek, one of the most respected dealers of antique Japanese folk textiles. Stephen will walk you through the collection piece by piece, explaining where each textile came from, how it was made, and the stories behind its patches, motifs, dye techniques, and wear.

Over green tea and small bites, you'll have time to look closely, ask questions, and shop the collection with the expert himself guiding you. It's a rare chance to learn from someone who has spent his career finding and caring for these pieces, and maybe to take some home. Great for the boro or indigo enthusiast.

Includes:

• Private tour of Sri Threads for [#] guests, led by Stephen Szczepanek

• Expert background on the textiles on view

• A private shopping session

• Green tea and small bites

RETAIL VALUE: $500
