Jurors: Candace Edgerley (guest) and Eileen Doughty
Our guest juror, Candace Edgerley, says, “What an honor to jury the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery show. It was interesting to see so many fiber art techniques and materials, their colors and textures, and beautiful workmanship. Several artists used the theme, Mixup, to incorporate a mix of techniques and variety of materials into individual pieces.” Three items particularly caught the jurors' eyes. Judy Porter's outstanding nuno-felted shawl has brilliant purple wool and silk hand-dyed fibers. Nan Lopata's hand-knit green sweater uses soft, comfortable yarn and features a specially textured knit panel. Joan Hutten's whimsical hat, “The Mighty Oak”, has needle-felted acorns, and knit green leaves branching from the bark-brown hat. We enjoyed the day and hope you will come to the Torpedo Factory to enjoy the show as well.
