Exchanges
I love participating in exchanges! Smallish groups of fiber artists (6-9 people)
agree on a concept and time frame, and we’re off! Usually, we’ve worked in a small size (around
12”-16 square) and allow around 2 months for each piece. We each start off with our own interpretation
of the concept (texture, shape, response to an art piece, or any other prompt
we agree to pursue), then hand it off to the next member of the group. Then, we all respond to the piece we receive,
creating a second piece. Those two
pieces are sent off, meaning we each receive a set of 2 pieces to which
respond. It reminds me of a shotgun golf
tournament – but way more fun!
