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.
