Introduction	Connections Fibre Artists began in 1999 when several like-minded, dedicated and accomplished needleworkers decided that they would like to explore more, experiment more and exhibit their work more. They invited 12 fellow artists to gather and form their own group. They grew over the years and try to maintain a membership of 30. Currently 'Connections Fibre Artists' is based across Canada and the U.K. Fibre is the medium that connects us, giving our art depth and texture that other media can only dream of. Our work is highly diverse, from silk fusion to thread painting, soft sculpture to machine embroidery, hand-quilting to photo transfer, fibre wrapping and beading, to name only a few. Many of our members are pioneers in their art form, and they regularly teach courses, accept commissions and several are published authors. Connections Fibre Artists hold three to four group shows per year and membership is by invitation.
