Housed in Old Town's historic waterfront Torpedo Factory, the 65 artists who comprise the Potomac Fiber Arts association display works ranging from sculpture, decorative accessories and wall art, to functional objects, jewelry and other wearable art. Fiber arts encompass weaving, knitting, papermaking, quilting, basketry, jewelry, hand-painting and dyeing, wire and glass.
Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery opened in 1974 as one of the Torpedo Factory charter occupants and Washington's first fiber arts gallery. In addition to exploring innovative techniques, many of the artists in this vibrant and active group teach, publish, exhibit nationally and have won awards. Stop in to interact with the working artists and learn about their recent creations.
