textile art
Cloth-based creative work
Textile art is visual art created with fibers, fabrics, or techniques traditionally associated with textiles—weaving, embroidery, knitting, quilting, dyeing, felting.
The term distinguishes work made for aesthetic or conceptual purposes from purely functional craft: Her textile art explores themes of domesticity and labor.
The boundary between textile art and craft remains contested.
