Still in its first year, meetings follow a basic show-and-tell format, and double as a rug & textile identification clinic. Chuck Paterson and Kate Whealen host the event the second Saturday of every month at their home in Santa Fe; call for info 505 984 9887. Our hope is to grow to support guest speakers, field trips, museum and private collection tours, and perhaps curated exhibits. Whether you're an experienced collector, academic, or just an enthusiast, please come, bring items of interest and hear what experts and onlookers have to say. Thanks to Kate and Chuck for opening their home to us and sharing their expertise.
