Improvisational Weaving
Free demo led by Susan Jones
Saturday, February 22 from 1-3pm

Come and watch Susan work in this playful and experimental approach to textile art, blurring the lines between craft and fine art, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved through weaving techniques.

Susan views her sculptures as an exploration of improvisational weaving, a process of creating shapes that are not specifically planned, trusting that a unique shape will reveal itself. Her process involves manipulating the materials in a free-flowing manner to create dynamic and organic shapes that evoke emotion and intrigue.


This demonstration is part of FIBER FEST, running January 11 to March 1, 2025 – celebrating fiber arts and artists with exhibits, demonstrations, and classes throughout two buildings and across four galleries.
