The works for sale in the show include weaving, beading, basketry, felting, knitting, quilting collage and mixed-media. The sale will also include an abundance of colorful wearable art and accessories, such as scarves, hats, shawls and jewelry.

Surface design is the creative exploration of fiber and fabric. Participating artists produce fine art and functional pieces that can be hung on the wall, displayed on a table, thrown over an armchair, or worn on the body.
