What is Fibre Art?

• The Society for Embroidered Work (S.E.W) was started in 2018 by Cat Frampton & Emily Tull as an online group and has over 400 members internationally. What is interesting is the reason they started the group - a comment at an art show that stitched or textile work was not considered art but just a craft, inspired them to find a way to show the error of that opinion and to support artists using this medium. The video is just over 15 minutes long and I think it is worth watching.
