Ten wearable art pieces, created by guild members, were on display in response to the Guild Challenge entitled "The Power of the Pocket." The entries represented a diversity of fiber art techniques, including knitting, crochet, fabric dying, weaving and patchwork and showcased the creativity, craftsmanship and ingenuity of the artists that created them.
Visitors at the exhibit were able to view the garment details up close.
The artists provided details about the materials and techniques used to create their pieces. An Artist's Statement provided insight into the inspiration, creation and the story behind each piece.
