There will be items in a wide range of prices. I think the public will be amazed at the different fiber media used by our members to create their pieces. On display will be pieces made of silk, cotton, wool, linen, rug backing, bark, leather and handmade paper.  Mixed media used with fiber include clay, wire, driftwood, shells, twigs and bones.  Absolutely gorgeous!”

The show and sale will include wearable and wall art as well as sculpture and home accessories. FAB members will be on hand to discuss the wide range of techniques they used to create their original one of a kind works of art.
