Fiber Arts & Textiles Magazine


Fiber Art Now is a quarterly publication. The mission is to connect and inspire the fiber arts & textiles community with the most compelling work in basketry, felting, knitting, needle arts, paper/book arts, dyeing, mixed media, surface design, quilting, sculpture, wearable art, weaving, collage, encaustic, mixed media and more. We are a worldwide community in support of what we love.

Premier issue released in October, 2011.


SUBMISSIONS
Fiber Art Now is intended for anyone interested in fiber and textile arts; artists, enthusiasts, educators, learners and collectors. We are interested in articles that feature the latest happenings, news, techniques and ideas in the worldwide fiber arts community. Generally, we do not accept “how-to” articles.

We consider articles in the following areas: weaving, spinning, dyeing, felting, quilting, paper/book arts, mixed media, encaustic, collage, needle arts, knitting, wearable art and other fiber arts areas.

We also welcome notices of fiber events in your area. (Please keep in mind that we publish quarterly and may need 4-6 months’ notice.)

We have a technically accurate style that is characterized by a warm, personal voice; we seek to explore, learn, share our art and connect with each other. We are a fledgling publication and currently cannot remunerate writers, but have plans to begin paying for submissions in Spring of 2012.
