About Mending the Net
Fiber Club*’s first group show took place during September 2023 as part of Detroit Month of Design. The show followed the ethos of inclusion. Not only did all our members have the opportunity to participate in the show, but by positioning the exhibition as part of Detroit Month of Design, we invited the city to learn about Fiber Club*, creating a new access point for the wider community to engage with a diverse array of creative practices and to learn more about art and design that is grounded in fiber and textile-based art forms both traditional and contemporary.

Mending the Net featured the work of a diverse cross-section of fiber artists in the Detroit metro area, offering the community an opportunity to experience a varied range of textile-based art in one thematically-linked show.
