Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery is a co-operative association of approximately 70 members from the metropolitan area. Washington’s first fiber art gallery opened in 1974 as an original occupant of the Torpedo Factory Art Center. In 1944, the supporting fiber guild was established. Each year eleven juried shows are installed every four to six weeks. A variety of original art such as sculptures, wall hangings, accessories, wearables, jewelry and many other innovative works offer much diversity. The artists use fiber techniques with traditional and non-traditional materials such as wire and glass. Knitting, weaving, papermaking, quilting, basketry, jewelry, hand-painting and dyeing are examples of the skills the artists exhibit. A number of members are very active in the art community. They teach, publish, exhibit in local and national shows, and have won awards.
