Soft Space

A weaver working at Contemporary Craft

May 24 – June 29, 2025 

Soft Space is a sharing of weavings created over the past year by artists working within the Fibers Studio of Contemporary Craft in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Weaving is a process of interlacing individual fibers with the aid of a tool called a loom, and the Fibers Studio, like a loom, has facilitated connections among an ever-expanding community of artists. The studio is often filled with the music of looms and a warm laughter. We hope that you can feel the joy and dedication in this sampling of weavings created by teachers and students of weaving at Contemporary Craft.   

Deep gratitude must be expressed here for LOOM CLUB, a volunteer corps of loom enthusiasts, weavers, and friends who work together to keep the looms at Contemporary Craft working! Without LOOM CLUB, many of the weavings on display here would not exist. LOOM CLUB is: Alana, Alicia, Alisha, Amy, Ava, Berto, Beth, Bryanne, Caren, Debi, Devon, Diana, Donna, Donna, Elan, Erin, Harrison, James, Jamie, Jamie, Jasmine, Jenny, Kathy, Katy, Kristin, Laura, Laura, Laura, Lenka, Liv, Liz, Mallory, Margaret, Melissa, Meridee, Merle, Michelle, Miranda, Molly, Monica, Nick, Nina, Paula, Rachel, Randi, Rebecca, Reed, Roz, Sallyann, Sam, Sam, Sarah, Seth, Stacy, Stephanie, Sylvia, Vania, Victoria, and Victoria.

The Sewickley Public Library organized this display to coincide with the 25th edition of the Fiberart International. This exhibit of the some of the finest fiber work being created today will be organized and presented by Contemporary Craft in partnership with Brew House Arts. Fiberart International 2025 will be on view June 6 – August 30, 2025 at Contemporary Craft, and June 20 – August 30, 2025 at Brew House Arts.
