Fiber & Identity: The Maker’s Voice is an exhibition for members of the Potomac Fiber Arts Guild to explore how fiber art reflects personal narrative, heritage, and creative perspective. Featuring works that range from traditional techniques to innovative contemporary forms, the exhibition celebrates the ways makers communicate who they are through their craft.
On the final day of the exhibit, guests are invited to attend a special closing reception featuring fiber arts demonstrations, providing an opportunity to engage directly with makers and gain insight into the techniques and traditions behind the art. This culminating event celebrates both the exhibition and the vibrant community that makes fiber arts such a meaningful and evolving practice.
