Fresh Design – Fiber Art in the New Millennium

Florida Craftsmen would like to invite you to “Fresh Design: Fiber Art in the New Millennium” featuring artwork representing sixteen southeast Florida fiber artists. Their artwork will be on display at the Second Avenue Studio at Florida Atlantic University’s downtown Ft. Lauderdale campus.

The exhibit features both two and three dimensional, individual and collaborative works in a variety of fiber media and techniques including quilting, appliqué, weaving, dyeing, knitting, embellishing, stitching, paper folding and handmade paper.

Although the term “fiber” often conjures up images of domestic or decorative crafts, viewers will be delighted by the range of masterful, innovative and critical work created by some of Southeast Florida’s most talented artists in this genre.
