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.
