Writes Elizabeth Busch: "Having been an artist all my life and an 'art quilter' since 1983, I've come to realize that my art work is all about process. Whether I am airbrushing, spreading Textile Paint on canvas taped to my table top, hand quilting or weaving painted acetate strips through plastic netting for one of my large kinetic sculptures, I am responding to that voice within that tells me today it's time to make art.

Fiber Art Masters
Our recently published book FIBER ART MASTERS: A Visual Tour to Maine Artists’ Studios and Work, profiles twenty of Maine's master fiber artists. You can purchase one for $23.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. Call Christine for shipping rates/prices on orders of more than one. We have a limited quantity available. Everyone loves them! Our printer did a great job. Small and cute and very informative! Give them to your fiber friends. The best way to order is to email Carol or Christine: This email address is being protected from spambots.

Innovations: Contemporary Art
Was a juried show of contemporary art that dazzled the walls of our gallery at 13 Main Street in Topsham. Thirty artists—all members of Maine Fiberarts—came together to show state-of-the-art ideas in hooked work, tapestry, knitted wire, art quilts, paper assemblage, fabric collage, handwovens, mixed media, needlepoint, felted vessels, and handmade paper.
