We hope you will enjoy sampling some of our colorful, one-of-a-kind and innovative fiber art. (Note, hours are 10:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. on the SECOND THURSDAY of the month.) There are eleven juried shows a year, which exhibit all forms of fiber work including weaving, knitting, crocheting, sewing, and surface design just to name a few. Our textile artists use materials such as hand-dyed yarn, fabric, p

aper, thread, wire, metal, and glass to create unique and original jewelry, wall hangings, clothing, sculpture, accessories and many other inventive works of art. We are located in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in historic Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Please visit us to see what new and exciting art we have to offer you.

“Black and White + One” is a show depicting high contrast including a “Plus One,” which most artists interpreted as an additional color; red being a popular, but by no means unanimous choice. It was exciting to see the various ways black and white plus a third color were used to create fiber works. Notable works are Eileen Doughty’s large wall quilt “Sashiko Samples” in black, white, and red is an artistic display of stitched Sashiko designs. Check out the many Sashiko designs elsewhere in the Gallery. The Gallery is well stocked with more theme items as well as new wall art, scarves, table linens, and jewelry.

“Black and White + One” is a show depicting high contrast including a “Plus One,” which most artists interpreted as an additional color; red being a popular, but by no means unanimous choice. It was exciting to see the various ways black and white plus a third color were used to create fiber works. Notable works are the felt shawl by Grace Mahanes displays excellence in laminated felt. Grace used subtle yellow as her third color. Check out the many Sashiko designs elsewhere in the Gallery. The Gallery is well stocked with more theme items as well as new wall art, scarves, table linens, and jewelry.

“Black and White + One” is a show depicting high contrast including a “Plus One,” which most artists interpreted as an additional color; red being a popular, but by no means unanimous choice. It was exciting to see the various ways black and white plus a third color were used to create fiber works. Notable works are Patti Durbin’s portrait “See Me.” Using recycled materials, it calls out to take a closer look. Who is ”Me”? Check out the many Sashiko designs elsewhere in the Gallery. The Gallery is well stocked with more theme items as well as new wall art, scarves, table linens, and jewelry.
