There is so much in our lives that brings us together in some form or other, and makes us all part of that old adage \u201cthe fabric of life\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fibre is integral to our lives; it is the wood we use to build our homes, the fabrics that cover our floors, windows and furniture. With everything from man made to natural fibres, we make art, sculpt and transform fibre into the everyday utilitarian items we use. With embroidery, sewing, felting, weaving, adorning our bodies, walls and gardens, we create astonishing, humorous and beautiful work that can make a statement but also comments on the state of humanity and the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amanda Doran\u2019s wall piece is just such a statement. &nbsp;\u20183 Little Piggies\u2019 (made from Papier Mache and styled after the traditional flying ducks), make reference to colonial powers and the portraits of privileged peoples that hang in our clubs and public spaces. With each little piggy having its own plaque such as \u201cThis little piggy plays the stock market\u201d anything goes when it comes to Fibre. To find out what the other 2 \u2018little piggies\u2019 get up to, you will have to come along and enjoy the one show a year dedicated to the glorious medium &#8211; fibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim Jones -\u2018Wild Weaver\u2019 is a regular contributor to the Fibre Show and her exquisite hand spun, hand woven; knitted silk and wool garments\/artworks are a testament to the precision and dedication to her craft. These and much more are worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition runs from Thurs June 3rd to Sat 31st July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"367\" data-id=\"1156\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0064.jpeg\" alt=\"Bob's Clock by Bob Bishell\" class=\"wp-image-1156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0064.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0064-229x300.jpeg 229w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bob&#8217;s Clock by Bob Bishell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"340\" height=\"197\" data-id=\"1157\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0066.jpeg\" alt=\"3 Little Piggies (Papier Mache) by Amanda Doran\" class=\"wp-image-1157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0066.jpeg 340w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0066-300x174.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">3 Little Piggies (Papier Mache) by Amanda Doran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"178\" data-id=\"1158\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0065.jpeg\" alt=\"Blocked by Kim Jones (Wild Weaver)\" class=\"wp-image-1158\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blocked by Kim Jones (Wild Weaver)<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s that time of year again, and Blue Knob Hall Gallery\u2019s annual Fibre exhibition, \u2018Entwined\u2019, is looking good.
