“These crafty and cunning creations tempt fate and fortune to be made and demonstrate how the artist will not be deter and knows no limits,” said Renne Emiko Brock, North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival director.
“Fiber artworks of reinforced tales and yarns are spun from momentous consequences, family ties, and patched experiences,” Brock said. “The choices artists make, the colors, patterns, topics, and materials, are part of the destiny they design for themselves while outwardly influencing hearts and minds asserting their unique artistic message and championing imaginative expression.”
The North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival celebrates its 18th year which always starts the first full weekend in October in Sequim and various events and locations throughout autumn.
