"Patterns" Exhibit at Worcester Center for Crafts 

The Worcester Center for Crafts presents the exhibit "Patterns." 

The exhibit features the work of Sam Cape, Christiane Corcelle, Elizabeth Duffy, Judy Haberl, Nancy Hayes, Erica Licea-Kane, Julia Talcott, Lynda Schlosberg, Toby Sisson, and Jessica Straus. 

The curators selected artists whose work they knew or had discovered through research and who used ‘pattern’ in a multitude of innovative and engaging ways.

“I was particularly interested in Lisa and Carrie doing this theme since their work is often about repeated images and patterns,” says Candace Casey, Krikorian Gallery Director.

The exhibit is on display through April 27.
