Ebb & Flow is an international juried exhibit featuring lengths of constructed and/or embellished yardage.

Take your inspiration for yardage from the sense of rhythm and movement—a decrease is followed by an increase from ocean tides, techniques, or materials. Any fiber arts technique may be used.
