Special Exhibit “iView”…
We live in the world of “I” (iPods, iBooks, iPads, iPhones, etc.). It’s how you post, text, Facebook, blog, forum, tweet the rug you are working on or just finished.
16 artists (U.S. Canada, & abroad) have brought the 2 worlds together into a collection of 64 pieces representing an assortment of hooking & fiber art techniques; each created 4 pieces.
Linda Rae Coughlin, project coordinator, well known for gathering artists & creating unique textile art exhibits, will talk about this project & the techniques during the Thur. Gallery Talk.
