May exhibit at the Dahmen Barn is “Quilts and Beyond”
Seven resident artists who make up the entity that is Fiber Fusion at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn will have work on display in the Hayloft Gallery from May 6 through 27. The opening reception with the artists present is scheduled for Sunday, May 6 from 1 to 4 pm. What originally brought the artists together was a common interest in exploring non-traditional quilting techniques. Each one has her own area of interest and comfort within the fiber world and stretching the bounds beyond. Quilting, dyeing, painting, three dimensional elements, embellishment with numerous objects both old and new, fabric distortion and felting are but a few of the techniques used.
Wearable art, quilted art wall hangings, mobiles and fabric bowls make up a few of the items in the exhibit. The artists have incorporated everything from rare bird feathers to copper in the quilted art pieces and wearables.
Artisans at the Dahmen Barn is in Uniontown on highway 195 in the big white barn behind the famous iron wheel fence. The non-profit creativity center is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm. There is no daily admission fee and the building is fully ADA compliant.
