LCCC Fiber Arts Gallery welcomes back the Columbia Basin Basketry Guild on July 18 with a new exhibit “Coming Around Again: Columbia Basin Basketry Guild; Weaving with Recycled Materials.” This show will run until August 31st. An opening reception will be held at the LCCC on July 18 from 5-7 PM. Join us to celebrate the opening with the artists.
Featuring the work of 23 artists, this exhibit showcases innovative and creative ways of reinterpreting multitudes of materials. From fabrics to plastic bags, rope, cords, wire, food cartons and even recording media; an array of discarded items have been saved from landfills and reworked in resourceful ways creating new and useful artistic objects, vessels and wall pieces.
This show was inspired by works of CBBG founding member Janet Ronacher, some of which are included in this exhibition. Janet began exploring recycled items as her medium of choice many years ago after learning about discarded plastics collecting in our oceans. Janet experimented with different weaving techniques and developed unique sculptural baskets from these materials.
The Columbia Basin Basketry Guild began with a small group of weavers in 1989. Today we serve 364 members at all levels of skills and experience. From gallery-represented artists to new students learning basic techniques, all members are enthusiastic makers who find joy and satisfaction in the act of creating traditional or contemporary pieces.
