Chilkat weaving is the absolute pinnacle of fiber art, and Anna Brown Ehlers is *the* master weaver.

Japan has a system where skilled traditional craftspeople and performers are recognized as “Living National Treasures”. These are people who have mastered their art and ensure that traditional techniques are kept alive and passed on. The tangible objects they create are masterpieces of great value, but their intangible skills and knowledge are priceless. It is a great honor to be a Living National Treasure, and the Japanese government has a specific grant to subsidize these artists so that they can continue to create and enrich the culture of Japan.

Indigenous artists deserve this level of recognition and support. Anna Brown Ehlers and Jennie Thlunaut were both awarded heritage fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, but that is really insufficient recognition for the work they’ve done to preserve and revive and teach the art of Chilkat weaving. Not only the weaving technique, but also the art of formline design itself.

I have very strong emotions on this topic.

my favorite is when Kermit’s facial expression is simultaneously an obvious hand in a puppet but also an instantly recognizable and relatable emotion

The costumes for the film are definitely fantasy. There’s no historical accuracy to them, really […] Because there are so many films and TV shows such as ‘Game of Thrones’ that were done so beautifully, I very consciously from the beginning thought of going the opposite way.

I did not want to use any fur or any leather because I felt that would be just terrible [because director David Lowery is a lifelong vegan.] So most of the costumes are completely vegan. We used pineapple leather and we used bark cloth from trees that resembles leather. We just stayed away from anything else. I’ve never used those materials before and I wouldn’t have searched for them if it weren’t for David being a vegan and me trying to find a way around it. That was a good challenge that made me re-imagine the clothes and not, you know, try to outdo ‘Game of Thrones,’ which was perfect.
