Tempestry: The Spectrum of Climate Change is at the Phillips Museum of Art at Franklin & Marshall College this fall through December 6th, 2024.

“Combining data, material culture, and advocacy, F&M faculty created a variety of temperature tapestries. The tapestries are color-coded, knitted wall hangings depicting the changes in average yearly temperatures for a given geographical region. The primary goal of this project is to create a striking visual display depicting the unmistakable effects of anthropogenic climate change in the form of changing temperatures.”

The National Parks Tempestry Project book is here!

This work, the brainchild of volunteer coordinator Erika Zambello (photographer, fiber artist, and writer for National Parks Traveler Magazine), has been several years in the making and has involved dozens of crafters from all over the United States. It is both a beautifully rendered love letter to our natural environment and an acknowledgement of the dangers it faces.

The book is available for order here, or email us at TempestryProject@gmail.com if you are interested in carrying a few copies in your store. A portion of all sales goes to the National Parks Conservation Association – thank you for helping to make this possible!
