Outer Banks
Fiber Group

Fiber enthusiasts are united in their recognition of the recently formed Outer Banks Fiber Group. They welcome the opportunity to display local fiber art during the upcoming September show at Sea and Sound Gallery, where the works will also be for sale. The main aspect of the group's mission is to share with the public the fantastic possibilities of fiber in art. This tactilely pleasurable medium attracts art and craft lovers alike for its versatility, familiarity, and opportunity for individual voice of creation. Recognizing that two components of creativity are novelty and utility, each Fiber Group member is committed to continued personal and collective growth in the increasingly popular field of fiber arts. With more than 20 members, the Group's art represents many techniques and is as varied and unique as the artists themselves. Silk painting, art quilting, coiling, spinning, felting, dyeing, tapestry and weaving are some, but not all, of the methods that are employed to create original art. The Outer Banks Fiber Group is currently accepting new members. ŬIf you are interested in obtaining more information about the guild, contact President Inger Seitz at 252-255-1448. http://www.erlandry.com
