Fibres & Beyond is a women’s art textile co-operative
based on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. The
accomplished group of eleven was founded in 2002 as a
way to support and challenge these artists working with
surface design, fibre, fabric and mixed media. The work
created by this co-operative ranges in dimension, varying
in scale from tiny soft sculpture to large wall pieces.
The makers of this eclectic and colourful work paint, sew,
embroider, hook, dye, felt, wrap and stretch all fibres.
From wool, silk & cotton, to seaweed, recycled garments
& found items – all is put to use in their whimsical,
functional, or decorative art.

Our members consist of:
Linda Danielson, Gail Erickson, Joy Garnett, Judy Seeley,
Mary Holland, Irm Houle, Phyllis Lysionek, Elizabeth Tanner,
Joan Taylor, Jessie Taylor Dodd, and Isabel Tipton.
Please feel free to contact us anytime with inquiries
regarding the F&B group, gallery shows, or the wonderful
world of fibre!
