This grouping of works presents ise katagami—one of the many ways Japanese makers have introduced pattern onto fabric. Paper stencils (katagami) are shown alongside printed fabrics and textile swatches. Katagami, and specifically those examples using silk support threads, led to the popular printing technique known as silkscreen. Curated by Laurie Anne Brewer.

This exhibition offers new insights into the design, printing and use of French wallpapers, borders, fragments and design drawings. These rare samples are drawn from a remarkable collection of French wallpaper that was assembled by French artist Charles Huard (1874–1965) and his wife, American writer Frances Wilson Huard (1885–1969), now in the care of the RISD Museum. Curated by Emily Banas.
