This is one of the most colourful Fibre Show\u2019s we\u2019ve had. Fiona Shadwell\u2019s large hand-painted cloths and Melissa Hume\u2019s felted wrap\u2019s are a feast for the eye as people walk in the door.<\/p>\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=\"280\" height=\"218\" data-id=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-24.png\" alt=\"It's good to get the bugs out by Lynne Pettall\" class=\"wp-image-305\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It&#8217;s good to get the bugs out by Lynne Pettall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"233\" data-id=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-25.png\" alt=\"A Folding Fascination by Sachiko Kotaka\" class=\"wp-image-306\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Folding Fascination by Sachiko Kotaka<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s artists and artisans have more than fulfilled the requirements for a fibre exhibition and it has wowed visitors from all over. There is a huge variety of work on show. From natural to man-made fibres there is sculpture, basketry, weaving, and some clothing that can only be considered as wearable art, such is the skill and imagination of the artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 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=\"305\" data-id=\"307\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-26.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-26.png 280w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-26-275x300.png 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>What&#8217;s Love Got to do With It by Pauline Ahern<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" data-id=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-27.png\" alt=\"Light my Fire by Sylvi\" class=\"wp-image-308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-27.png 220w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-27-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Light my Fire by Sylvi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fibre artists and artisans in the area have showcased their work with an endless variety of materials we call fibre. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cFabric of Life&#8221; is the members annual Fibre Show at the Gallery, and is one we look forward to every year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[15,33],"class_list":["post-304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibitions","tag-15","tag-fibre"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1211,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304\/revisions\/1211"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
