Focus Fiber

Next Focus Fiber: Freeform crochet artist Bonita Johnston and VMOTA member & artist Barbara Dodson are doing a joint talk, show, and share about crochet at the museum. There will be samples and photographs from each artist to accompany the talk. (Monday, March 2nd, 10 am – 12 pm.)

Barbara and Bonita are doing a shared presentation on how crochet is used to make art. Focus Fiber members will have the opportunity to see examples of communal and individual crochet art projects and learn ways to get started if interested in trying it out for themselves.

Focus Fiber is an open and collaborative space within VMOTA that fosters growth and connection among artists working in fiber and textile arts. The group meets regularly to share projects, exchange constructive feedback, and support artistic development in a welcoming and respectful environment. Open to all VMOTA members engaged in fiber and textile work, Focus Fiber offers a platform for artists to build confidence in sharing their creative expressions.

Members are invited to share completed works or seek feedback on projects in progress. The group emphasizes active listening and constructive dialogue, with feedback provided thoughtfully and respectfully. Artists are encouraged to reflect on the input and incorporate it in ways that align with their creative direction, fostering an atmosphere of growth and shared understanding.

Focus Fiber meetings are the first Monday of the month. For more information about Focus Fiber, contact us.
