California Fibers was founded in 1970 in San Diego with the purpose of providing professional advancement for contemporary fiber artists. The imagination and superb craftsmanship of these artists place them in the highest echelon in their fields. The group has an extensive exhibition history in the USA and abroad. Many of its members are well-represented in museum and private collections and are recipients of prestigious awards from around the world. Their creative expression includes weaving, basketry, sculpture, quilting, felting, surface design, knitting, crochet, wearables and mixed media.
ledge is a group of innovative artists brought together by the belief that community is a value that not only nurtures and feeds our art but also helps us connect to the larger society. We become stronger as we reject isolation and fuse our experiences. Through joint and solo projects, we struggle for a better understanding of the nuances of our culture. As our practices converge, separate and then converge again, we seek to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts in our effort to communicate.
