Vancouver native Janice Arnold, an internationally recognized textile artist, will present a program at Wednesday’s meeting of the Fort Vancouver Knitters Guild.
Her presentation will be at 7 p.m. at 717 Grand Blvd. Arnold will discuss her handmade felt art, including her recent “Palace Yurt” installation in New York City at the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
Arnold, one of today’s leading hand felters, recently was awarded a 2009 Artist Trust Fellowship from the Washington State Arts Commission.
In her Centralia-area studio, Arnold combines raw wool with a wide variety of fibers and other material to create fabrics ranging from dense thick felt to lightweight filmy textiles.
