A VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
Our first one is now live on mainefiberfolio.com. Take a look at this shiny new online display of almost 100 images showing off the work of 28 feltmakers hailing from New York to Maine. The worldwide pandemic changed many of our plans. We had to cancel a scheduled gallery show of felted work from members of the Northeast Feltmakers Guild, but when NEFG members were asked to send in photos of their work instead, they stepped up. "Outside the Circle" is the result. Many thanks to Carol Jones and to Kris Sandoy for their work to make this virtual exhibition happen.

HOME WORK
Members and friends are sending in images of work they've created while home to answer a request we put out some weeks ago. Images of gardens, baked breads, historical clothing, yarn bombings and fiber work are coming in. We were stunned when Susan Ferraro of Artisan CSF on Bailey Island sent in two of her latest hooked rug treasures. Susan is preparing for a show of her work that would have taken place at Rug Hooking Week in Ohio this August, now postponed. Show us what you're making! Send two or three images to carol@mainefiberarts.org Here's a look at the Home Work we have so far.
Above: "Sunset Callingl" by artist Susan Ferraro. Susan hooks with wool but often incorporates unusual materials in her pieces. This piece has 23 different dyed grey yarns that are hand hooked plus some 3-D conch wool felting.
