Alberta Seen - Landscapes in Fibre

Alberta's land is big and bold and often inescapably powerful. In response, countless Alberta artists - painters, printmakers, potters and others - strive to capture elements of the land in their work.

Expressions of landscape are relatively new in the realm of fibre arts. As fibre artists - quilters, needle workers, weavers, felt makers, fabric painters, and others who work with fibre - contemporize their fine craft disciplines, they are developing new visual approaches and innovative techniques for portraying and expressing the land.
