Apron, Made of "Points" Steiger Fabric and Used in the Harwood Steiger Studio
01
Artifact Overview
The screen-printed fabrics produced by the studio of Harwood Steiger, Inc. are replete with motifs from the American Southwest. Although husband-and-wife proprietors Harwood and Sophie Steiger were born in the Northeast, the Sonoran Desert became their home. Its flora, fauna, and wildlife were a constant inspiration in their enduring partnership, which saw Harwood as the primary artist, and Sophie as the expert botanist and businesswoman.
