Pam Najdowski, who specializes in Miao silver work and fine embroidered and batik textiles, along with Chinese Children's hats, antique baskets and wooden tools, has travelled widely and to Guizhou many times. She has an extensive knowledge of the Miao peoples and their costumes. I met her at the Tribal Arts Fair. She has a gallery at Travelers Market in Santa Fe's DeVargas Center. : 1810 Paseo de la Conquistador, Santa Fe, Mexico 87501 Her e-mail: pamnajdowski@yahoo.com
The presentation she elected to give to the Asian Art Museum, Society of Asian Art members focussed on her visits to remote villages where she has befriended weavers who gather antique materials to sell to her, so she is always welcome.
Her representation was beautiful and focussed on Kali and surrounding villages, all of which I had visited. My jacket which I wore is from this region, and I have one other, which I wore to lecture on Friday; both were well received by other members, who commented favorably. I bought in my own embroidery example from Guizhou, where I visited the home of embroiderer, and where she told me her story. She and her husband botrh worked in a factory for a decade after marriage until she had enough money to pay for their two children's education and to buy an apartment, which I visited. She has so many wonderful objects for sale. We met when she came to the International Womens Club in Shanghai. She invited me to visit her so I am finally able to do so.
