The collection will showcase weaving, knitting, felting, hand-spun yarn, quilting, paper, bead work, jewelry, basketry, wood carving, clothing, accessories, wall hangings, rugs, and other mixed media. Most of the art will be for sale.

This is the guild’s fifth exhibition at the HP, and as in past years there will be plenty to enjoy – from incredible fiber wonders to tasty hors d’oeuvres.

The opening reception of Through Our Hands Vwill be held on Friday, June 22 from 5-7 p.m. at the JHP gallery. Everyone is welcome to this exhibit and to join NFG members as they celebrate 30 years as a guild.
