Fiber art refers to fine art whose material consists of natural or synthetic fiber and other elements, such as fabric or yarn. It focuses on the materials and on the labor-intensive work on the part of the artist as part of the works' significance. Fiber art highlights aesthetic value over utility.
This family event is for all ages to enjoy, and as previously mentioned, will be held in the Council’s Project Space, directly behind the building on “L” Street. It is recommend bringing a towel or mat for your family to sit on. For the safety of all participants, facial coverings and social distancing will be required for the entirety of the event.
