About Us
The Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery (formerly Potomac Craftsmen Gallery) was the first fiber
art gallery in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It
was established in September of 1974, as an original occupant
of the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town Alexandria,
Virginia. It is a co-operative association of seventy fiber
artists, many of whom teach and have been published.
To continue our tradition of excellence, all work exhibited
in the gallery is juried to keep our standards high. There
are eleven themed shows every year with a wide variety of
fiber art. Traditional offerings of quilts, weavings, knits
and crochet are available but also innovative art using fiber
techniques with non-traditional materials such as metals,
glass, wood, and clay can be found.
Membership in Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery is open to all
qualifying fiber artists in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan
area.
Members who exhibit are required to work in some capacity
in the gallery and must join the Potomac
Fiber Arts Guild. For more information concerning
the application process please contact Kay Collins at membership@potomacfiberartsgallery.com
