Artist Reception: Botanical Inspirations ~ Capturing Nature in Fiber

We had a lovely day for our artist reception at the Bartlett Arboretum and Gardens in Stamford. Being surrounded by acres of gardens and forests while viewing the nature inspired fiber art was a treat!

The exhibit runs through June and I hope you have an opportunity to visit. Bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it!

As always the artists of the Connecticut Fiber Arts Collective combined efforts to create a beautiful array of refreshments and shared some laughs and stories with our guests.
