fiber art
Craft using threads
Fiber art is creative work made primarily from textile materials such as yarn, fabric, thread, or natural fibers like wool and cotton.
The term encompasses a broad range of techniques including weaving, knitting, embroidery, quilting, and macramé, as well as more experimental approaches that push beyond traditional craft boundaries.
What distinguishes fiber art from purely functional textiles is its emphasis on artistic expression and aesthetic intent.
The museum's fiber art collection includes everything from intricate tapestries to large-scale sculptural installations.
