The Making of a Mingei Mask

When the Mingei team set out to create a useful and beautiful mask, we connected with two inspiring women, both using their craft to serve their community. Sarah Winston, textile preservationist and Mingei’s former Textile Collections Manager, and Claudia Rodriguez-Biezunski, owner of Sew Loka, combined their dyeing, weaving and sewing skills to create a face covering worthy of the name Mingei.
