‘Spring Forward’ on view in Port Townsend

Posted

More than a dozen fiber artists have contributed to the new display, “Spring Forward,” in Port Townsend.

The large exhibition of pieces were created by members of Peninsula Fiber Artists, sda-np.com, a Jefferson, Kitsap, and Clallam-county affiliate of the international Surface Design Association.

The new show includes art doll figures, art quilts, collages, silk paintings, wearable art, woven hangings, and origami-embellished cards. 

The 24/7 walk-by exhibit can be found at 675 Tyler St. in Port Townsend, and continues through the end of April.

Organizers of the exhibit noted many of the works are for sale. Photos and descriptions can be found at sda-np.com/fiberhabit.

Fiber artists who have contributed to the show include Caryl Fallert-Gentry, Debra Olson, Cathie Wier, and Erika Wurm (Port Townsend); Joyce Gordon, (Nordland); Jeri Auty (Port Ludlow); Linda Carlson, Liisa Fagerlund, and Lynn Gilles (Sequim); Evette Allerdings, Pamela Hastings, and Barbara Houshmand (Port Angeles); and Donna Lee Dowdney (Bainbridge Island).

Peninsula Fiber Artists curate and hang a new show in the window every two months. 

The chapter’s monthly meetings are open to the public. For confirmation of meeting schedules, previews of the forthcoming exhibits in Tillamook, Oregon, and Port Townsend, see sda-np.com.
