What is fiber art?
Most people have some idea about quiltmaking, whether it concerns creating bed coverings, wall hangings, pillows, clothing, table cloths, placemats and similar items from pieces of cloth stitched together and then finished with decorative stitching. However, the term “fiber art” is one we’ve begun to hear about more recently.
Fiber art works primarily are created from fabric. However, other materials, including paper, paint, beads, metal, wood, plastics, and tyvek also may be utilized. These pieces of art generally don’t cover beds but usually are hung on walls, framed, or set on stands. Some of them even may be three-dimentional.
They incorporate a variety of textiles, textures and techniques and the creators consider themselves fiber artists. These pieces include quilts but encompass so much more.
