A New History Of Fiber Artists Who Tried To Turn Craft Into Art A New History Of Fiber Artists Who Tried To Turn Craft Into Art
In this article, a review of a fiber art exhibit in Boston in 2014, Greg writes about the state of fiber art: “Today we’re still pursuing that balance between handmade and technology as the contemporary craft revival runs in parallel with our futuristic smart phones and smart bombs.
