What is the difference between fiber art and textile art?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both fiber and textile art are defined by the material used<\/strong> – plant, animal, or synthetic fibers are used by the artist to create something by hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most definitions place fiber art as a ‘fine art.’ Fiber art pieces are intended for display and aesthetic value. Think, wall tapestry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Textile arts, on the other hand, while beautiful, are intended for practical use. Think, bed quilt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things get murky when the fine art tapestry is used to keep out the drafts in your castle\u2014who is practical now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair splitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Textile Indie, we use the broadest definition of fiber and textile art and just get down to the fun of making things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
