A Common Thread

Fiber art offers an artist more versatility than any other art form. The vast array of materials available, coupled with the innovations in textile construction techniques, give fiber artists unlimited freedom of expression. A Common Thread ties disparate expressions into one exhibition of the work of Textile Center members. A coveted benefit of Textile Center membership, this exhibition is the highlight of our exhibition season.
