There’s something about the phrase “nationally renowned basketmaker” that just tickles our fancy. We imagine velvet ropes pulled back, excited murmurs of recognition, and stadium crowds roaring for this expert weaver. Ah, would that we lived in such a world.
Perhaps if the artists of Fiberati have their way, some day we may. This Saturday, March 13th from 10 am – 5 pm at the Good Shepherd Center #202, the 12-person collective will 
be holding a group show and sale. The show includes “nationally renowned basketmaker Dorothy McGuinness, a weaving series by the prolific Linnea Donnen; and a mixed media collage by Barb Renfrow-Baker.”
Many items will be for sale, in all price ranges. Also on exhibition will be a “suited chair” by artist Susan Morton and Joy Prescott will exhibit her “amazing free-form crocheted work”.
Barbara tells us that
The dozen-plus artists in Fiberati met through the University of Washington Certificate Program in Fiber Arts several years ago. Through that experience, the artists built a great support network with each other. They meet regularly to share current projects as well as new techniques, classes, books, and websites. The artists in Fiberati have passions for weaving, quilting, basketry, needle arts, print arts, dyeing, wood working, collage, mixed media, painting, photography, music, dance, and all pursuits creative!
Get your fiber on!
