From wearable fiber shawls and purses and nature-inspired botanical prints to contemporary assemblage creations, Fiber Flair is a menagerie of creative possibilities using fiber. Jennifer Smith’s nature prints and Bonnie Powell’s assemblages share a vibrant flair, Marie-Lise Best’s felted purses emphasize the utility of fiber, and Carol Shenk creates treasured fibrous compositions that attest to the connectedness people experience from the textiles that surround them in life.

Fiber; a thread or filament from which a vegetable tissue, mineral substance, or textile is formed.


This exhibit 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.
