A free workshop on textile art will be part of an exhibit of textiles curated by local artists Anita Wolfenden, Linda Carmel and Nerys Levy at the Carrboro Branch Library.
The exhibition, which features 21 local textile artists, is designed to present an overview of the range and possibilities within the discipline of fiber art — from wool and felt to silk, paper to soft sculptures.
At the January 20 reception, there will be demonstrations of some of the processes involved in the production of textile art. Also during the life of the exhibition, the library will hold a free art workshop led by one of the show’s participating artists. The exhibit is made possible by the Friends of the Carrboro Branch Library and the Fowler Foundation. For more information, call 969-3006.
