Boone, NC – June 4, 2024 – The Blue Ridge Fiber Guild is proud to announce the return of its annual exhibit at the Jones House in downtown Boone, from June 4-June 30. The guild exhibit features fiber art in various forms, from wearables to wall art, that range in style from traditional to contemporary. Featuring an array of color and texture harmonies, they are constructed in knitting, crochet, weaving, felting, surface design, and quilting.
The Blue Ridge Fiber Guild was organized in the early 1980s by fiber enthusiasts. Its purpose is to promote traditional as well as contemporary fiber art. The organization now serves a five-county area and has monthly meetings in the Boone area that feature programs and workshops. In addition to demonstrating fiber craft at festivals and public events, the guild sponsors a weaving class at the Western Watauga Community Center located in Sugar Grove.
