Guild Show, "Slow Cloth: A Celebration of One Thread at a Time"
Mary Meigs Atwater Weavers Guild presents. The 28th Biennial Fiber Arts Exhibit September 5 through October 22, 2025 Utah Cultural Celebration Center 1355 West 3100 South, West Valley City, UT
Theme: Slow Cloth: A Celebration of One Thread at a Time. Artwork for this show can be made in any fiber art form—weaving, knitting, spinning, embroidery, basketry, felting, etc. It should express the artist’s love of fiber arts and the connections that fiber arts provide in our lives. This show represents all aspects of traditional and contemporary fiber art. Any fiber artist may enter. In this world of instant gratification, we choose to slow down and enjoy creating. It is a luxury spending hours in the studio, lost in our art as time slips by unnoticed. These hours, days and weeks are not wasted. Please join us and share your creativity, your joy and your talents and your beautiful works of art.
