Fiber Art: Embracing the Craft

Fiber Art: Embracing the Craft celebrates fiber art in all its forms. Core Art Space invites submissions of weavings, quilts, embroideries, beadwork, fiber sculptures, wearables, and any artwork using fiber materials and processes including fabric, yarn, thread, beads, roving, rope, and techniques such as stitching, weaving, felting, quilting, knotting, wrapping, and lacemaking. Both traditional and experimental forms and techniques are welcome.

Juror Susan Dillon is a fiber and mixed media artist who explores the physical manifestation of emotions and memories using fabric, thread, yarn, bones, and found objects. Her work has been exhibited nationally, has won numerous awards for fiber art, and is held in private collections worldwide. She teaches workshops and private lessons on fiber art techniques and maintains a studio at Globeville Riverfront Art Center (GRACe) in Denver, CO.
