Noted Sardinian Textile Designer Eugenia Pinna will present her textiles and a history of her work from her studio in Nule, Sardegna on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern. The online event is a collaboration between Eugenia, Sardinian Arts, and the Italian Cultural Institute-San Francisco. There’s no charge to attend, but you must register in advance to attend. 

Eugenia’s designs incorporate Nule traditions with contemporary vision. Her work was recently featured in the one-woman exhibit, La Ricerca di una Textile Designer, at Spazio Ilisso in Nule, and can be seen on her own website, Sardinian Arts, and in select showrooms. 

Having absorbed the weaving tradition of Nule as a girl, Eugenia furthered her artistic ability at the European Institute of Design in Cagliari. Her works fuse the knowledge and skill of the traditional handweavers of Nule — expert in their knowledge of wool, natural colors, and the mechanics, techniques, and patterns suited to the vertical loom — with a modern design sensibility, complex and beautiful color combinations, and innovative shapes and designs that are uniquely hers. Simply stated, Eugenia has mastered what few can: She has blended the contemporary with the traditional to create warm and astoundingly beautiful works of art that have a presence and personality of their own.

There's no charge to attend, but you must register before the event.

Sardinian Arts

Sardinian Arts was born in 2013 out of great appreciation and respect for handweaving, Sardinia, and the tessitrici artigianali, the women who maintain the art of traditional Sardinian handweaving. Sardinian Arts helps preserve, protect, promote, and advance the tessitrici artigianali and the arts, culture, heritage, land, economy, and people of Sardinia in a sustainable manner. Founder Kelly Manjula Koza documents, films, writes, presents, and promotes the weavers and the majesty of the island and her people, bringing textiles into the hands of those who appreciate the weavings and the artists, via trunk shows, pop-up shops, exhibits, and individual connections, and otherwise serves as a tramite, a conduit to the tessitrici artigianali and to Sardegna.
