Textile Artists Show Their Skills at March Art Walk

Last week’s Art Walk invited attendees to ‘Discover Fiber Art’ with a room full of crafted pieces that were created through sewing, knitting, embroidery, macrame, crochet and weaving.

Local artists included DeLois Griffin (at top) who demonstrated her talents on the loom and showed interested patrons how to spin a ball of yarn.

Other featured artists included Cindy Eppes,

Laurie Walther,

and Cindy Vaughn.

Collections were also displayed of hand crafted items from New Mexico, Oaxaca, Peru, and Guatemala.

And scattered throughout the display were books on different textile techniques.

Next exhibition will feature Women artists on Thursday, April 24th at the Trinity Star Arts Council gallery in downtown Fairfield. Stay tuned for details.
