SUMMARY:Saarinen House Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Free Opening Reception\nTour Saarinen House\, Eliel Saarinen’
 s Art Deco masterwork and the jewel of Cranbrook’s architectural treasur
 es.\n\nThe exhibition\, STUDIO LOJA SAARINEN: THE ART AND ARCHITECTURE OF

 ed the Department of Weaving and Textile Design at Cranbrook Academy of Ar
 t while also leading Studio Loja Saarinen\, a commercial weaving studio. B
 egun with a single loom at Cranbrook in October 1928\, Studio Loja Saarine
 n grew to encompass thirty-five looms\, three of them master looms twelve 
 feet in width requiring three weavers to operate. Designs by Loja\, her hu
 sband Eliel\, weaver Maja Andersson Wirde\, and others were made into qual

  also produced for exhibitions\, private residences\, churches\, and busin
 esses—including rugs and cushions for Frank Lloyd Wright.\n\nThrough tex
 tiles on loan from the Kingswood School Cultural Properties Collection and
  Cranbrook Art Museum\, as well historic photographs and ephemera from Cra
 nbrook Archives\, this exhibition tells the story of Studio Loja Saarinen 
 and showcases the remarkable contributions of the studio toward making Cra
 nbrook a total work of art.
